As the deadline for the paper filing of the 2017-18 approaches at the end of October, one frequent question that we asked is “I am paid a PAYE salary and owe less than £3,000 in tax on my self-assessment, so why can’t I pay my tax through my tax code?”
On the face of it and in the narrative of the both the online and paper tax returns, there are three simple conditions that all have to be met to allow the self-assessment bill to be paid through your PAYE tax code:
However, there are three further conditions that need to be met:
It is this last condition that often prevents your self-assessment tax being collected via your PAYE code.
Take, for example, someone on a £20,000 salary in the current tax year with the standard Personal Allowance is £11,850, the total PAYE Income Tax due will be £1,628.20. In this scenario, the self-assessment tax can only be collected through the PAYE tax code if it is less than £1,628.20.
The figure if the salary is £24,000 would be £2,428.20 and £26,860 is the PAYE threshold where the Income Tax exceeds £3,000 and, therefore, you can be sure that a self-assessment bill of up to £3,000 can be collected through the PAYE tax code.
