Tax

Post by crooner1981 »

Just looking at this weeks wage slip I noticed my tax code has changed from 0759L CUM to 759L/0
Looking back it changed when the wage slips altered about a month or so ago so I assume this is correct.
If anyone could clarify much appreciated.

I don't think there is any difference as the numbers when multiplied by 10 signify the amount you can earn before you pay any tax i.e 759 x 10 = £7,590 per anum before tax is paid (obviously divided into 52 weeks). Any letters refer to the type of personal allowance to which you are entitled, L stands for basic allowance, not sure about the /0 though, but don't think it's too significant, at the end of the day if the numbers are the same the tax paid by you should be the same..... That's my understanding of it any how.......
