IRP5 has more than 8000 km booked on source code 3703?

  Written by Marc   Posted 21 November 2013

To my understanding, I should object this and ask my employer to update my IRP5 to 3702, which I then send as a supporting document with my objection. Is this correct?

I have approached my employer, they say they are unable to change my IRP5 and I should simply pay the tax. I believe this is incorrect....
