Tax codes lower than the Personal Allowance The income that tax hasn’t been paid on is subtracted from the Personal Allowance and this becomes the new tax-free income allowed in the tax year. This tax-free allowance is divided by 10 to reflect it in the tax code for the year.
Can you have a negative personal allowance?
It’s possible your tax code could start with the letter K, meaning you have a negative tax-free Personal Allowance. This is very rare – it will only happen if you didn’t pay enough Income Tax last year or if you get any benefits from work you need to pay tax on, like a company car.
When do you use the letter K in your tax code?
