Tax codes... Confused

agnes · 7 Feb 2011 at 18:54

Right, so I got a letter from the friendly tax man (HA!), which stated my code has gone from 647L to 738L...

Now, if I understand this correctly, I have been paying emergency tax?

Can someone confirm this please.

New job at a junior level... Bad pay, but I need the experiance in the field for later on in life. Been there since the last week of September last year. Past the probation period. Previous job was 2 years in another field.

If I call my local tax office will they be able to evaluate the amount I am owed?

Because this code has been like that (L on the end) for a while now... Talking over a year.

Cheers guys. Guess no harm in giving them a call tomorrow just to be safe.

Well then, bonus times, moving in this Sat, not only do we not pay council tax, but I get a little extra in my pocket!

I must admit, I am terrible for not looking at what I get paid. As far as I am concerned, a standing order is in place to transfer £150 into a Visa account for my personal money, £500 into a joint account with my girlfriend which she also places £500 into. And the rest sits in a savings account...
