I had underpaid tax last year by about £400 pounds, but its wasn't deducted straight off my next payslip. I was contacted by the Inland Revenue at the end of the tax quarter (June I think) and notified that my tax code would be adjusted to take account of the overpayment.
Obviously this mean't that my tax was slighty higher over the next tax year to cover the shortfall, after which they contacted me again with another notification which took my tax code back down to its original level.
It is your employer who calculates your pay - including your tax based on your current tax code, in my opinion they should have left it for the Inland Revenue to sort out. If it was me I would go back to them and tell them to sort it out immediately...£30 wouldn't last me one day!!!
