Notice Of Coding

The ‘notice of coding’ more commonly known as your tax code you receive each year tells your Employer how much tax to deduct from your pay.  Did you know that HMRC place the responsibility on you to check your tax code and if you don’t you don’t check it you could be paying too much tax?   
 
Klarity Tax can review your annual ‘notice of coding’ that comes from the HMRC to check whether it is right and help you understand if it is wrong. and provide advice on how to claim it back. This service is included in the Klarity Tax Personal Tax Management Service
​
What does my tax code look like? 
​
Each year you receive a ‘PAYE Notice of Coding’ (form P2) from HMRC that provides you with your tax code and why you have that tax code.   It includes numbers and letters and the numbers usually (not always) refer to how much tax free income you can earn in a single year.   More importantly your tax code tells you whether you may be paying too much tax in this tax year and potentially up to four years if it has been wrong for some time.

What happens if I don’t get my tax code right?
