Erm yeah that sounds about right... It should look something like this: Employment income ----- 7,035 Less Personal Allowance (5,035) Chargeable to tax -------2,000 Tax due 2,000 @ 20% ----- 400 Less deducted at source -- (500) Refund due ---------------- 100 So I guess the 2,136 is your taxable income, tax due on that is the 427, and I assume they then deduct whatever you paid at source, e.g. 500 to come to your actual refund amount (in this case it would be be £73), is that right? P.S. I've tried to make it all line up, may have failed miserably lol
syd got to reply to this its what us semi retired people pay in paye to help the young none paye people who avoid tax.
