1000LM tax code?

Hi, changes are your tax code is referring to being month 1, but it is usually written as 1000L M1. It's odd that it has occurred when you've been working with the company for so long, it usually occurs when someone starts a new job part way through the tax year and previous earnings aren't available for the calculation of tax so calculates the tax slightly differently. If this is the case I suggest talking to your payroll department if your have one as it may be they've made an error when processing your wages, if they aren't very helpful then contact HMRC and ask them to send your tax code to the company you work for to ensure from your next pay day you are taxed correctly.

Ps. Make sure at the end of the tax year you've paid the correct tax

It should read M1 or X. You should ask your payroll dept to confirm.

Different payroll software packages seem to have different ways of showing tax basis, the last one I used showed it as 0 for cumulative or just 1 for non-cumulative, but as you say payroll dept should be able to confirm. If it is for month 1 and any employees who were there pre tax year change are still on this basis they would do well to check it also as most on non-cumulative codes should have been converted to cumulative for the new tax year.
