I accept RTI is in meltdown, although obviously HMRC have not seen fit to fess up yet. But I am seeing very many more daft tax codes for 14-15 than in previous years.
Examples:
1. A code of 300L or so instead of 1000L. The difference was employment in 12-13 for a company which entered liquidation in that tax year.
2. A code of 500L or so. The client filed cessation sole trader accounts for 12-13 in May and has filed RTI as a limited company director during 13-14.
3. A code of 330L. The difference I am guessing is a variety of part-time jobs this person had which all ceased in August 2013. Since then she has been in Canada working as a ski instructor.
These are just the blatantly obvious blunders where I can figure out how they've messed up. Anyone else seeing this sort of piffle?

yes
It seems P45's aren't being registered for a few of my clients who have changed jobs etc..
So the codes assume they have 2 - 3 jobs, infact for one of my clients - the code assumes he has 2 jobs and is claiming jobseekers allowance???

Job Seekers allowance that's bonkers!
A client ....
... started receiving an occupational pension.
He is a HR tax payer and is happy paying additional tax on dividends from his company but wanted D0 on the new pension so he could just spend what he got, what a nightmare - first HMRC person ended up with K5000 on his main income - salary of £649pcm!
The standard of service was so variable, as when we tried again the next HMRC sorted the mess out.
Same here
Just worked through a whole list of P9s, most of which are bonkers. Are you waiting and hoping that more sensible ones get issued, or are you calling HMRC or getting the clients to call HMRC to challenge them?
Mine is wrong
and I've seen the same on a few clients. They've added the total gift aid payments that I make to the personal allowance, so I'd get full basic rate tax relief on the payments as well. Very generous, if amusingly incompetent. I haven't bothered to tell them as my salary doesn't reach the normal personal allowance

It's not worth and have nothing to worry about if your wage is below £10,000! Not bad £10,000 free of income Tax.
