  • RE: Check untaxed interest figure

    I called the helpline today about this, and they were very helpful. They read out a list of every account I had, and how much interest had been reported to them.
  • RE: Self Assesment needed for savings/salary?

    I would advise going through this to check if you do need to or not: https://www.gov.uk/check-if-you-need-tax-return
  • Keeping Tax Coding Notices

    Hello, Whenever my tax code changes, the letter says "Please keep this tax code notice". How long do I need to keep this for? And do I need to keep the hard copy, or can I scan it in and discard the original? Thanks.
  • Calculating PAYE manually

    Hello, Although we use Sage Payroll to calculate PAYE, I have been trying to also calculate it manually, but can't understand where the figures have come from. Using the manual tables: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/taxable-pay-tables-manual-method, looking at Table C1 for Monthly paid employees, I see Column 1 is £3142, which is the monthly threshold for a Basic Rate taxpayer (£37,700, divided by 12 months, rounded up). But I can't understand where the £628.46 in Column 3 comes from? I'd have presumed 20% of Column 1, but doing that doesn't work, using either £3142, or the exact £3141.66. Could anyone explain please? Thanks.
