I have just phoned HMRC as they have given me a tax code of 780L when the standard code is 944L for this year.
After speaking to an incredibly unhelpful person on the phone it would appear this arises from 2010 when I had a number of short term jobs and it appears my employers have all used the same tax code meaning my I overused my personal allowance?
My question is that as I filled in all the necessary paperwork when starting a new job each time it would appear that this is the fault of my employers and not me.
Can HMRC now demand this tax is paid back in this way. I fell like this is not my fault and it couldn't have come at a worse time as we have just bought our first house and money is tight enough as it is.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
