PAYE codes can be amended to ensure tax codes are correct, but this requires interaction with HMRC, defeating the goal of reducing calls to HMRC.
Stride voiced concern at the lack of consultation: “As was the case with the rule change on self-assessment announced in June, there was no consultation of these proposals. We worry the changes may have been introduced primarily as a costsaving measure without consideration of the wider impacts.”
