Tax codes
Why your tax code might change
HMRC may update your tax code if:
-
you start to get income from an additional job or pension
-
your weekly State Pension amount changes
-
your employer tells HMRC you have started or stopped getting benefits from your job
-
you get taxable state benefits
-
you claim Marriage Allowance
-
you claim expenses that you get tax relief on
You may also be put on an emergency tax code if you change jobs.
