Hi All
I have just started s new job at NHS and received my first 2 wage slips and think I am paying too much tax, numbers aren't my strong point but it looks too much to me compared to what I was paying in tax on my last job. I am on Band 2 and it starts off on £15404 per annum.

I have detailed the info below

Tax Code 1185L CUMU
Pensionable Pay £1413.97
Taxable Pay £1342.97
PAYE £267.60
NI A £85.40
NHS Pension 5% £70.68
Car PARK VAT £1.83
Car Parking £9.17

My concern is the £267.60 figure as it seems a little excessive as my take home was £987.97. If anyone is able to shed light on this and assist in any way I would be most grateful.
Thanks

Simon

Your tax code looks ok so it could be that you paid too little tax in previous months and you are playing catch up? If in doubt speak with HMRC.
