Tax Codes Explained 2024/25 | You NEED To Know This
What is a tax code and am I paying too much tax? Well a tax code is a combination of numbers and letters given to you to show HMRC how much income tax and national insurance you should be paying. A tax code shows the amount of tax-free income an employee should receive in a single tax year also known as their personal allowance. Anything earned above this amount is taxable.

Normally the code would be 1257L for this situation. However I would recommend you ring HMRC and ask ask they will be able to explain properly and help for your specific circumstances. 0300 200 3300

Hi, This code is usually applied on a cumulative basis. That means that your tax position is recalculated each pay day using total pay to date and free-pay to date during the tax year. As a result, variations in income between months are averaged out.
Thansk iMentor... got an earlier job and my tax code was 1257l, resigned and got a new job and the tax code changed to BR, and the thing is i am now been taxed way more than the job i resigned from.....what could be wrong???

Hi, it’s most likely they are just confused at how much your earning. Did you give a P45 slip to your new employer? (You should have got one from your previous employer). They usually use the code BR (Basic Rate) when they are unsure of your situation. You can always give HMRC a call on the number in my pinned comment. They’ll help you out!
Hi My Tax Code is1257L Weekly 50hrs i have allowed but i earn 47.5hrs acrul half hours they deduct i dnt understand how many % tax they deduct kindly can u clear me thanks

Hi, I have worked in company A (full time)for a week then I resigned. 1 month later I entered company B(part time). Is company B regarded as my second income?
@imentor__
Жыл бұрын
Hi, as you were not earning Company A salary for the same time period as Company B, then it would not be classed as second income as you resigned from company A. A P45 from your employer would confirm this and show that Company B salary is now primary income.

@imentor__
Жыл бұрын
OT is an emergency tax code that HMRC attaches to your salary if they don't have enough details to figure out how much tax you should pay. You will currently have no Tax free allowance and so you should contact HMRC to give them more details about your job.

Hi, normally the emergency tax code will stay in place until the end of the tax year or until your employer receives the correct tax code. In your case I would question them why you still have this code despite your efforts to provide the correct documents.

Hi, if you are earning over the tax threshold for both jobs (£12,570 for 2023/24) then you are required to pay tax. This will either be through your agency employer or you will have to do a self assessment.

So essentially the opposite. Your tax allowance is now £9888. It can happen for a few different reasons. Most of the times due to workplace benefits that reduce your allowance e.g. Private Medical Insurance. Your specific situation may differ.

X is usually used as an emergency tax code when HMRC are not sure what code to apply. L is your personal allowance. M is usually assigned for Marriage allowance. So depending on your circumstances it can mean a multiple of things. I recommend you call HMRC as they will explain it exactly. Best number to call is 0300 200 3300

Loved the vid. I have a question that you may, hopefully, be able to answer. I used to have a married allowance 13?? something which included a 10% from my non working wife's allowance. Then I got divorced and it changed to 1257M1 22/23 (for the entire year) which I assumed was the single persons allowance. I have just noticed that for the entirety of 23/24 year it was 1152L. Could you shed some light on why I now don't seem to have my full tax allowance? Thanks
