@YWHelp Please can you provide an update on the situation in YO24? The website said the problem was being fixed, and now it says it’s been reported.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@YWHelp Hi. I’ve been informed by my housemate that there’s a leak in our road in YO24. Can you provide an update on the situation please?

@HMRCcustomers Hello. My boss hasn’t received confirmation from HMRC regarding a tax code change since the end of April. How can he be officially notified of the change?

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers Thank you, I’ll call on Monday.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers Hi. I’ve received a payslip from one of my employers and noticed that my tax code has changed. I don’t know why as my employment hasn’t changed.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers 495T.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers York Music Education CIC.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers I’ve just checked, it was 469T and is now 761L.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers For one employment it was 787L and now it’s 495T.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@SF_England I thought as much. Hopefully the university can help as I can’t magic £2,000 out of thin air.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@SF_England How do I speak to someone about borrowing more money for my doctoral studies?

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@SF_England I was awarded the maximum but I went from full-time to part-time. I’ve received all the money but have another year-and-a-half to go. I don’t have the money for this year’s fees.

@HMRCcustomers I’ve added £2,000 to the second employment, so hopefully that will mean no tax to pay (temporarily, I hope - I would love to earn more!). Thank you for your help, this has been the least stressful interaction with HMRC.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers Hello. I’ve received both payslips from my employers and found I’ve paid tax on one of them. I am not earning enough to pay tax, so please can you advise me on how to get the money back and not be charged again?

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers I would like to increase the threshold by £2,000. It’s not likely that I’ll reach it in my first employment anyway, so would both tax codes need to be changed?

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers Yes, but this varies from month to month. There were times when payments were £64.09 (Sept), and £71.41 (Jan and Feb), and it’ll be very similar for Jun, Jul, and Aug - maybe nothing due to the contract.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers 269T

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers Approx. £4,446 for the code 987L. The second employment isn’t straightforward as it varies dramatically month by month. I can estimate it’ll be around £1,900.

[Alexis Cairns 🇪🇺 @AlexisLCairns]

@HMRCcustomers 987L and 269T
