In-Year Adjustment (IYA) and In-Year Restriction (IYR) coding adjustments

HMRC tax code adjustments are changing, aiming to make use of real-time information to improve PAYE tax accuracy. This new strategy ensures the correct tax is deducted at source, but only if the data HMRC holds is accurate.

It’s important to stay informed about these changes and to act promptly if you spot any discrepancies in your tax code.

What Are HMRC Tax Code Adjustments?

HMRC plans to introduce new deductions to tax codes, using real-time information to improve accuracy. These adjustments, such as IYA (In-Year Adjustment) or IYR (In-Year Reconciliation), ensure PAYE deductions align with your earnings and circumstances.

However, this approach depends on having up-to-date and accurate information. Errors in your tax code could lead to overpayments or underpayments, which can cause financial stress.

Why You Should Check Your Tax Code

Spotting adjustments like IYA or IYR in your tax code is a prompt to check its accuracy. Mistakes can occur if HMRC has incorrect or outdated information about your income, benefits, or tax reliefs. Regularly reviewing your tax code can help you avoid unexpected deductions or surprises at year-end.
