PAYE Tax Code Checker

Overview

Your tax code tells your employer or pension provider how much of your pay is tax-free. It is built from your allowances, less any deductions for benefits, untaxed income or tax you owe. Codes are often wrong – especially after a job change, a new company car or a change of income – and a wrong code means the wrong tax all year.
