CONTENTS

 1. Overview
 2. What your tax code means
 3. Emergency tax codes
 4. Why your tax code might change
 5. How to update your tax code


OVERVIEW

Your tax code is used by your employer or pension provider to work out how much
Income Tax to take from your pay or pension. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will
tell them which code to use.

This guide is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).


FIND YOUR TAX CODE

You can find your tax code:

 * by checking your tax code for the current year online - you’ll need to sign
   in to or create a personal tax account

 * on the HMRC app

 * on your payslip

 * on a ‘Tax Code Notice’ letter from HMRC if you get one

If you sign in to check your tax code online, you can also find your tax code
for a previous tax year.
