PAYE coding notices

PAYE coding notices

Didn't find your answer?


how many accountants routinely check clients PAYE coding notices?

 I have had situations recently where several clients earning over £100k have got big Jan 14 tax bills as a result of incorrect code (e.g. given a PA when not entitled and business expenses in excess of actual claimable amount)

how do we get to see these codes other than requesting the client send to us - they not always available to view on the clients SA online account

my understanding is that we as SA agents are not automatically sent copies

unless you wish to routinely check HMRC online services weekly/monthly you need to rely on your clients to send you their copies.

thanks K81 - I think we need to issue an amendment to the engagement letter - making it absolutely clear that it is the client's responsibility to notify us of their PAYE code if they wish to avoid major underpayments
