General question for the misses who is permy.
She went on Maternity leave on April 7 2016, her employer only pays the statutory maternity leave so it was 90% of her salary for 6 weeks then the £139 per week for the remaining time, she does however get a company car and she has been allowed to keep that during maternity leave the car is approx £4.6k benefit in kind. When she has been earning her normal salary before maternity leave her tax code has been reduced to reflect car benefit so her code was 640l approx, I noticed though on her pay sleep for June the tax code is still the same though in reality her total income for tax year 2016-2017 including car benefit + maternity pay will be about £12k so only tax due on the 1k, should I be getting her to call up HMRC to get them to change the tax code / recaculate or is a company car benefit still taxed no matter if you income doesn't hit the lower tax threshold ?
thanks
