Hi George,
State pension is calculated on a weekly basis, to work out the taxable figure for 24/25 you would calculate the number of weeks from 18 August to 5 April and multiply this by the weekly rate.
Thank you.

Hi Ian,
The DWP will notify HMRC automatically within 7 days of your state pension starting so your tax records can be updated. If you have a PAYE source of income in the UK, your tax code will be amended and a new tax code issued. You can ensure your tax records are correct by logging into the personal tax account.Personal tax account: sign in or set up.
Thank you.

Hi Ross,
As you emailed the P45 to the employment agency they will hopefully use the previous pay and tax information on your final pay day with them. This means that you should not hand in the P45 from the company you were made redundant from to your new employer.
The employment agency should provide a P45 to you once they have made the final payment however if this does not happen quickly enough please complete a starter declaration form (P46) for your new employer. 
Thank you.

Hi Waqas,
As you are no longer in the UK there are various options to cash the cheque. You can post the cheque to your UK bank with a paying-in slip or present your cheque by taking a photograph, if you have a mobile app for your UK bank account. If the cheque cannot be submitted via your online banking you can ask your overseas bank if they can cash the cheque - you may have to pay the bank a fee.
Thank you.
 

Hi Gemma,
The tax free allowance for 2024/25 is £12,570. So this is then given over the course of the tax year Apr 24 - March 25, so this allows you to earn 1047.50 every month before tax is deducted. after you would be taxed at basic rate (20%).
If you have just 1 employer this allowance is set against that source, if you have 2 part time employments you can contact HMRC to request your allowance be split between the 2 sources of income: ie £600 tax free per month at one source and £447 tax free at the other source. Anything that goes over the tax free amounts split would then be taxed accordingly.
Pleae contact HMRC when both sources of income have started and we can see if this is possible - Income Tax: general enquiries.
Thank you.

Hi Charlie,
HMRC do not consider gifts to be taxable income for the receiver, but it can give rise to inheritance tax for the giver.

Thank you.

Hi Susan,
That does not sound correct, as your personal allowance is given on a yearly basis so something that happened 20 years ago would be irrelevant for this years tax free allowance. Did they not mean that you have used some of your personal allownce in this tax year already Apr 24 onwards maybe with your salary prior to being made redundant? You will probably need to speak with your payroll again to get a better pciture of what they mean.
Thank you.

Hi Rash K,
The tax free allowance for this tax year Apr 24 - Mar 25 is 12570, which allows your to earn £1047.50 every month before you start paying tax.This is what is being applied to your placement employment (1257L code) , if you commence at 2nd P/T employment because, all you personal allowance is used at the main job, you would be taxed at the Basis Rate of tax which is 20% which will be shown as a BR code. At your 2nd job your should sign a P46 with them and tick statement c to indicate that it is not your main employment.

Thank you.

Hi Huw,
Hi it is hard to say wothout seeing an actual breakdown of what your code or both sources includes, it could be that your 2nd pension straddles the BR/HR bands so your main code may have been adjusted to account for this.
But really we would need to check your personal records, which cannot be done via this forum, you should contact the HMRC helpline:
