I started a new employee in month 8 with a P46 using 647L/M1 (leaving the Total Pay & Tax figures blank).
Her gross pay was £682.50; I deducted £28.40 PAYE (HMRC agreed)
She subsequently gave me a P45, which I sent to HMRC and have received back a P6.
I've input the following P6 details: Tax Code (647L), Total Pay (£6702.00), Total Tax (£1340.40) on both the payroll software & the HMRC CDROM for month 9 - gross pay £682.50).
Then payroll software says I should refund 28.40; The HMRC CDROM says a refund of 727.00
I've spoken to someone at HMRC, who says their calculations are correct.
Previously, there's been no diference in the calculations between the payroll software & the HMC CDROM.
Can you please help?
