HMRC Admit PAYE Coding Errors
HMRC has admitted that the recent introduction of the National Insurance and PAYE Service may have resulted in some employees being on the wrong tax code for 2010/11.
Employees are urged to check April payslips to ensure they are paying the correct amount of tax. It is possible that they may not have been sent the same PAYE code number as the one sent to their employer or pension provider.
Employees are warned to look out for any unexpected changes to the amount they are paid and to phone HMRC if they believe there is a problem.

The fact that so many individuals have had incorrect PAYE Codings for 2010/2011 can only be due to the fact that the New PAYE System, which was developed by HMRC, delivers incorrect information to the simple process of Annual Coding. This indicates that the basic requirements of the PAYE system were either incorrectly interpreted by the IT partner of HMRC OR were incorrectly stated by HMRC.
Either way HMRC must accept responsibility for allowing a national system to be introduced without adequate and proper testing.
