income tax problem

Hi Sir/Madam, Since this is my first year working in the UK (starting in August-2022), I would like to know if the PAYE system automatically calculates the allowance(0 to £12,570) for a person? According to my payslip, the PAYE system deducts my income directly without calculating allowances, or do i need to apply refund myself? Thank you in advance for your reply. BR

Hi KATAT CHAN. I have just come across this while flicking through posts. HMRC issue a PAYE code to be operated by your employer. It is your employer who instigates the code to be operated against your pay. You need to ask your payroll operator. If you look at your payslip is there code 1257L on there?

Hi Catherine, Thank you for your reply. I can’t find any 1257L in my payslip, I just saw my tax code is BR0 , so in this case my company will do the refund for me?

Hi Catherine, My company HR mention that they cannot see any notifications from HMRC to put me onto a more standard tax code, so in this case i need to contact HRMC to update my tax code? Or does everybody working(under PAYE system) in the UK can get the personal income tax allowance or it is just for the UK citizen?

Hi 

After the tax year has ended, we will do an end of year tax calculation and if you did not receive your allowance we will issue a P800 tax calculation between July and October.

Thank you.
