Tax legislation
•
We're now getting near to the end of the current tax year, on 5 April 2010. Rather than continuing down a path that doesn't seem to be getting you much success, I'd wait until April, then collect together evidence of all of your income for the year. The forms P45 that you'll receive when you leave a job, and any P60 that you'll receive from an employer if you're employed at the end of a tax year are the best evidence to use. Take copies of these and send them to your tax office (contact details here) explaining that you think you've overpaid tax for the year and requesting a refund of any overpayment. Do you know how much income you've had for the year, and how much Income Tax you've paid?

For the next tax year (2010-11), are you aware of any taxable benefits that you'll be receiving, or any income that won't be correctly taxed? HMRC have been making a mess of tax codes recently (see here, for example), and there's a fair chance that your code is incorrect. The "T" suffix on the end in particular stands out - this indicates that "there are other items [HMRC] need to review in your tax code". Your tax office should be the place to contact to address this, so call them and ask for a specific breakdown of why you have been given this code, rather than the standard 647L. If they can't explain it immediately then perhaps try to speak to someone more senior if you can, or insist that they get back to you in writing with an explanation. Given all the recent problems, I would hope that they should be prepared to deal with your query reasonably promptly.
