There are several places you can find your tax code:
- PAYE Coding Notice, Form P2 – you and your employer get this ‘notice of coding’ from HMRC in the mail every March.
- Payslips – weekly or monthly, from your employer.
- P60 – your annual tax summary, from your employer.
What is a tax coding notice?
A notice of coding is issued by HMRC and states your current tax code as calculated by HMRC. A PAYE notice of coding is also known as a form P2 and is usually posted at the start of each tax year by HMRC.
Why is my tax code lower than the Personal Allowance?
Tax codes lower than the Personal Allowance The income that tax hasn’t been paid on is subtracted from the Personal Allowance and this becomes the new tax-free income allowed in the tax year. This tax-free allowance is divided by 10 to reflect it in the tax code for the year.
When to use the new tax code notice?
A tax code notice is sometimes called a P6 form. If you receive an employee’s new tax code too late to use in the tax year, you should use it in the new tax year.

When do you get a new coding notice from HMRC?
Your circumstances can change during the tax year, so HMRC can amend your tax code at any time and send you a new PAYE coding notice. Keep all your coding notices to check that HMRC have calculated your tax code correctly and that your employer is using the correct tax code for you.
What do you need to know about the coding notice?
The coding notice provides a note for every item in the tax code calculation. These notes are intended to help you to check your tax code, but the way the tax rules work means this is not always straightforward.
