I have been getting skanked on my tax!
Discussion
I have been working at the MOD now for 2 years. It is bonus time and I was clecking over my pay slip and comparing it to a friends.
It was then that I noticed I was paying another £110 a month tax than they were. My tax code is BR where as theres is xxxL.
I understand BR to mean Basic Rate for a second job or Emergancy tax.
Am I right in understanding that I can claim this back?
Who do I need to contact in regard to this? I am on the phone to the PPPA (our People, Pay and Pensions Agency) at the moment to speak to them.
Any advice would be great!

I've just done this today, as it happens. Give your local tax office a call and ask them.

Why are you on BR?
How long have you been on BR?
If you should not have been on BR, you can reclaim any incorrectly paid tax going back six years. For your information, the tax free allowance levels for the past six years and this year are:
2002/03 - £4,615 (461L)
2003/04 - £4,615 (461L)
2004/05 - £4,745 (474L)
2005/06 - £4,895 (489L)
2006/07 - £5,035 (503L)
2007/08 - £5,225 (522L)
2008/09 - £6,035 (603L)
2009/10 - £6,475 (647L)
The potential tax overpaid relating to these allowances would work out as follows
2002/03 - £784.90
2003/04 - £780.10
2004/05 - £801.50
2005/06 - £826.10
2006/07 - £849.70
2007/08 - £881.90
2008/09 - £1,207.00
Total - £6,131.20
2009/10 - £1,295.00

You are probably thinking of shanked which I believe is prison slang for a stabbing.Skanked = http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?defid=11...

It's an additional tax penalty for your appalling spelling and grammar. It was then that I noticed I was paying another £110 a month tax than they were. My tax code is BR where as theres is xxxL.

There is also a little known "Chav" tax code for people wearing tracksuits.
