Tax code & Underpaid/Overpaid/Repaid Tax

The information provided in this section will appear in the repayment section of the tax return provided that the client is self assessing.  All returns submitted to the revenue after the deadline of 31 October (2007 : 30th September) (with the exception of electronic submissions which have a later deadline) must have the repayment details on TR5 completed.  The tick automatically appearing in box 22.2 of the return is placed there specifically to ensure that the calculation of payments on account is correct. Unless the payment is to be collected through PAYE do not untick this box (i.e. do not enter Y in collect unpaid tax through tax code). The tick is appropriate in all cases where tax in not being collected through PAYE, including clients that have no earned income.
