The Tax Code thing, I find, is amusing.
Around this time of year I get a load of these notifications sent through. Up to 703L, down to 454L, up to 601L, down to....
I dutifully send all these through to the accountants and let them sort it out. I am sure they find it just as interesting.

Today I called, again, to try and resolve the issue and apparently everyone is in a meeting. Last week they just hung-up the call. The time I did get through they seemed to have no idea and advised I wait until I get a penalty reminder. FFS.

I find the line:
"Please send me a copy of your complaints procedures"
results in a satisfying outcome.

I've always found that if the bod at the tax office doesn't give you a sensible answer you should hang up and call back. The next person is usually more helpful.

So I ring up the tax office, requesting they just give me 603L. They won't change it. Only if I say my expense will be nill (and then when the're not they complain).
They refuse to let me overpay tax, and claim back the difference. The only possible outcome is that I underpay (because my expenses have gone down) and get a bill (or a different adjustment on the next years tax code).
What a totally bizarre system.
