HM Revenue and Customs ( HMRC) will tell you between January and March about any new tax codes to use for employees in the new tax year. This starts on 6 April. If an employee’s tax code isn’t changing, HMRC won’t contact you and you should carry forward the employee’s tax code to the new tax year.
What does the BR code on my tax return mean?
As you have confirmed that you are receiving income from elsewhere, the assumption is that you are already receiving your tax free personal allowance against that other source of income. The BR code tells your employer to collect tax at the basic rate against your full earnings (the basic rate of income tax has been 20% for a number of years).
When do you change your tax code for a new employer?
If your new employer is still using a W1 or M1 code at the end of the tax year, then, at the start of the next tax year, they should change your code to the standard cumulative code for that new tax year.
Why are the letters no longer on the end of my tax code?
Due to a change in policy at HMRC you will no longer see the letters ‘W1’ or ‘M1’ are added to the end of your tax code. If in doubt you should ask your employer or contact HMRC. As explained above, these codes do not take into account changes in your income or coding which may have happened earlier in the year.
Where are there property tax exemptions for older people?

When do you need to change your tax code?
This is because if you retire part way through a tax year, you are unlikely to require a full year’s adjustment to your tax code.

How does tax code affect your personal allowance?
The income that you have not paid tax on is taken away from your Personal Allowance. What’s left is the tax-free income you’re allowed in a tax year. The last digit in the tax-free income amount is removed. Letters in your tax code refer to your situation and how it affects your Personal Allowance. These are emergency tax codes.
What does the K at the beginning of a tax code mean?
Tax codes with ‘K’ at the beginning mean you have income that is not being taxed another way and it’s worth more than your tax-free allowance.
