What was it before?
Could be you were on a Basic rate code for some reason?

What were you on before this change, was it a T code or something?
As 1256L is now the standard code for the 19/20 year with what I assume is the uniform allowance on it.
Doesn't really matter that much as due to the cumulative nature of tax, it will still work out correctly over the year
Was on 1185l before. Just confused me due to the month it changed. If it was in may I wouldn't question it but August!?

That is a little odd. Has anything changed in your non-salary benefits? It sounds like there was a deduction in place previously and this has been removed.
For instance with me. My tax code also changed in August, this was due to my health insurance benefit changing and so my tax code changed accordingly to recover the taxable benefit.

You are right, nearly, in that yes it should have changed in April
But like I said, it won't make any difference overall
It doesn't sound like it since 1185L is the standard code for 18/19 and 1250L is the standard for 19/20, apart from the extra 6 of the uniform allowance, there doesn't look to be any in work benefits affecting his code.
If it was 1185L in Mar this year it should have just automatically gone to 1250L in Apr
No nothing else changed,

Yeah slack was what I was worried about. Worry is over paid tax from may-august?
This was how I thought it would have worked

Ah good point, i've not been on a standard code for a while
(Spot the accountant who doesn't deal in payroll/tax
)You will have done, yes. But don't worry it will correct itself automatically over the next couple of months
