And no more tax allowance for the other 11 months either. How on earth could there be?
My definition of "tax free" is "does not increase my tax liability" - apparently his is "does not incur any tax at the point it's paid even though it still increases your net liability for the year".Leave a comment:

You really think somebody who has earned £25k can earn more without increasing their tax liability? Do you even know what TAX liability means?
Nice of you to conveniently ignore my detailed example that shows how clearly wrong you are.

PAYE has no bearing on your tax liability, just what you get paid month to month. If it results in under or over payments of tax it will be corrected at the end of the year.
Please, try and explain to me in simple terms how somebody who has already earned over the personal allowance threshold can earn any more WITHOUT increasing their overall tax liability.
Seriously even a child could understand this: who pays more tax - somebody earning £25k in a year or somebody earning £30k?Last edited by TheCyclingProgrammer; 14 October 2016, 08:54.Leave a comment:

pmasoft - you really have no idea what you're on about. The only explanation is that you're an idiot, or trolling.
You really think somebody who has earned £25k can earn more without increasing their tax liability? Do you even know what tax liability means? I'm starting to think not.
Nice of you to conveniently ignore my detailed example that shows how clearly wrong you are. Everybody else has pointed out that you're wrong. Because you are.Last edited by TheCyclingProgrammer; 14 October 2016, 08:49.Leave a comment:

See below which both explains and confirms what I have been saying:

No you're wrong (partially). That's not how it works.
The tax is calculated on what you have earnt to date not on what you expecting to earn in the rest of the year. Although there is an element of prescience in calculating if you need to be paying higher rate tax and in that case they will start deducting 40% or more possibly from Month1 on that portion of your salary.
It doesn't, however, matter if his new salary is 50k as before or 200k, he will still have unused tax allowance of, in this case, 50% of his tax code to be used in the second half of the year.

Originally posted by Lance View PostThis I understand. Your P45 will have your gross income and tax to date. And the tax you pay each month is based on an assumption that you will be paid the same for the rest of the year. If your subsequent pay is a little different the PAYE system will smooth it out. On the other hand if it's wildly different, say for example you don't work for 6 months, you will likely have overpaid as the PAYE assumption is wrong.
The OP has already had £25k gross, so already paid half the tax based on an assumed £50k salary. So he has NO ALLOWANCE LEFT.

Originally posted by Lance View PostNot to me it doesn't. Maybe I'm a bit thick.
I can't see a mention of a monthly allowance here.

I'm willing to accept I might be wrong so please provide a citation for a monthly tax code that can be used as you describe.
You need to think about Permiedom and PAYE, not Contractordom and PAYE. We can operate it to suit our requirements month to month BigCo doesn't
How about we use this scenario:
Before you became a contractor one assumes you were a permie. Each month your payslip would show Gross and Net pay plus EENI and Tax. It also shows taxable pay to date.
If you left BigCo A 6 months into the tax year for BigCo B Your new pay slip would still have a "tax Free" element based on your tax code. They wouldn't say "Sorry you earnt more than 11k at BigCo A so we are ignoring your taxcode and you'll need to reclaim it back from HMRC via SA"
That's why you get a P45 at the end of an employment to be passed onto new employer.Leave a comment:
