Amazon.co.uk Review
An estimated third of UK taxpayers are on the wrong tax code. That means that many of us are paying too much tax. In the old days, when the Inland Revenue filled out your tax return for you, that scary fact would never see the light of day. But now, when we all have to file our own returns, there's no excuse for not getting it right and saving yourself a bundle of cash.
Before you complete your tax return, Tax Code Checker will check your 1999 to 2001 payslips and grill you for more information. If you get stuck at any point you can click to the complementary Web site for plain English assistance. Finally, the program will automatically calculate your PAYE and National Insurance contributions. It's rare that a piece of software will actually put money in your pocket, but this looks like a shrewd investment. And once you've taken care of year 2000, you can start working back six years to save more cash, as your tax allowances can be backdated. --John Rennie
