As a taxpayer in the United Kingdom, it is important to ensure that you have the correct tax code. This code determines how much tax you will pay and is important in ensuring that you are not over or underpaying your taxes. In this article, we will guide you through the process of requesting a tax code.

The first step in requesting a tax code is to gather all relevant information. This includes your National Insurance number, your P45 or P60 form, and any other relevant tax documents. Your P45 form will show your earnings and tax paid so far in your current tax year, while your P60 form will show your total earnings and tax paid for the previous tax year. If you do not have a P45 or P60, you can request a statement of earnings from your employer.

Once you have all of the necessary documents, you can request a tax code from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in one of three ways: online, by phone, or by post. The easiest and quickest method is to request your tax code online through the government’s website. To do this, you will need to create a government gateway account if you do not already have one. Once you have logged in, you can select ‘check your income tax’ and follow the prompts to fill out your tax information.

If you prefer to request your tax code over the phone, you can call HMRC’s income tax helpline at 0300 200 3300. The helpline is open from 8 am to 8 pm Monday to Friday and from 8 am to 4 pm on Saturdays. When you call, you will be asked to provide your National Insurance number, your PAYE reference number (which you can find on a recent payslip from your employer), and your P45 or P60 form.

If you prefer to request your tax code by post, you can download and fill out form P2 from the government’s website. This form will ask for all of the same information as the online or phone request, but will need to be sent to HMRC by post. It can take up to six weeks to receive a response if you request your tax code by post.

Once you have requested your tax code, HMRC will review your information and send you a new tax code. This code will be sent to you by post or can be accessed through your government gateway account if you requested it online. Your new tax code will be based on the information you provided and will be used to calculate your taxes going forward.

It is important to review your tax code regularly to ensure that it is still accurate. If you start a new job, receive a pay rise, or your company is acquired by another company, your tax code may need to be adjusted. You can check your tax code by logging into your government gateway account or by contacting HMRC’s income tax helpline.

In summary, requesting a tax code is an important step in ensuring that you are paying the correct amount of taxes. By gathering all of your relevant tax information and using one of the three methods – online, by phone, or by post – you can easily request a tax code from HMRC. Remember to review your tax code regularly to ensure that it is up to date and accurate.
