Any Income Tax Experts?

[Snoopdong]

Mornin'
I wonder if anyone could satisfy my curiosity. After several years at my current address I have received a tax code statement for an unknown person, I assume a previous resident...without checking the addressee, I opened it assuming it was for myself... I don't suspect anything sinister but I am a nosey git so couldnt help but take a look..

I am puzzled by their coding? Is the application of a Kxxxx code a reflection of tax arrears from the previous year? Does this person owe tax on £39k of Job Seekers Allowance. If so that must be many years worth?!?

(I will be informing the HMRC that the person is not resident, hopefully I have redacted any trace of personal info from the picture)
Best regards
Chris

"Tax codes with ‘K’ at the beginning mean you have income that isn’t being taxed another way and it’s worth more than your tax-free allowance."

Yep, thats what I read, I just cant quite understand the circumstances, where is would apply to JSA and to this magnitude?

At £73.10 a week, that's 10 years worth.

you have committed multiple criminal offences on an open forum, I would be very careful from now on and expect the Law to be on you soon.

from the Post Office Act 1953:

Criminal diversion of letters from addressee
(1)If any [F1person not engaged in the business of the Post Office] wilfully and maliciously, with intent to injure any other person, either opens or causes to be opened any postal packet which ought to have been delivered to that other person, or does any act or thing whereby the due delivery of the packet to that other person is prevented or impeded, he shall be [F2liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both]

(2)Nothing in this section shall apply to a person who does any act to which this section applies where he is parent, or in the position of parent or guardian, of the person to whom the postal packet is addressed.

you have been warned,

don't say I didn't tell you,

lock you up they will,

on your head be it,

etc. etc.

Thank you, I take on board the warning... although I would suggest that I do not fall foul of the law as I did not wilfully open the letter. If something pops through my letterbox, I open first, check later... I will await the knock on the door though...

The op hasn't done anything willfully malicious, so he'll be just fine. ;-)

I can relate to that :-) Boring people to death about watches is something I do frequently.
