Split Year

Posted Fri, 08 Dec 2023 10:26:36 GMT by
Hi, i arrived in Aug 2023 and started to work in Oct 2023. My company is currently using PAYE and my tax code is 1257L. However, i would like to apply split year and i know i am eligible. In this case, the calculation is wrong when it comes to my allowance. My company asked me to contact HMRC. Please advise what should i do next?

Your tax code is a cumulative code throughout the tax year that starts on 5th April each year. You cannot split the tax code between different tax years. You can call HMRC on 0300 200 3300 to clarify this

Hi,

1257L is the correct code as you are due allowances of £12570 for the tax year.

Thank you.
