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.

    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.

    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, 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.

    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.
