Is the NT tax code right for me?
Tax codes are assigned by HMRC based on your reported income and circumstances. You might be on NT if:
- This is your primary source of employment income.
- HMRC has recently updated your record following a change in benefits.
- You have started a new job and your previous P45 has been processed.
- HMRC believes you have underpaid tax in a previous period.
If you believe this code is incorrect, you should contact HMRC as soon as possible to avoid overpaying or underpaying tax.
