Employers please note - new telephone number for employee tax enquiries

There’s now just one telephone number for your employees to call for help with their tax enquiries - 0845 300 0627.

Employers can use this number too, for example if you need to confirm an employee's tax code. But you should continue to call the Employer Helpline for enquiries relating to running your payroll.

The new number replaces more than 60 old numbers, which will shortly be 'switched off'. In the meantime, it would be helpful if you could update any correspondence you send to your employees and perhaps your intranet/internet sites, so that references to 'tax office' quote only this new number.
