ok... my girl friend is doing her dads tax return online. shes stuck. it should be 3000- 3500 pounds bout has for some reason gone up to five thousand. we dont know why and i cant realy help as im on the phone to her and cant see what shes got in front of her.
any help or reason as to why its gone up would be good. he usualy pays 18% but this doesnt quite seem right. this is coming out at about a third or so.
any help greaty appreciated.

she tried it online and it came up as £5000ish.
her dad hanst moved jobs to my knowledge.
Tax rates changed over last year.
First £2230 taxed at 10%
Next £32,370 at 20%
Anything above 40%
Maybe he's earnt more money this year so he's gone into the higher rate tax band?
In all honesty though, if she can't understand why he's paying so much tax maybe he should have taken his stuff to an accountant? And leaving it to the last week doesn't help either as if her local accountants are anything like us, they'll be rushed off their feet.
thanks again.
:yes: Higher rate tax band could be one.
Plus does the £3000 odd normal figure include his payment on account?
Might be worth ringing HMRC as the online system does have its faults, but they will be really busy as well.
