Am I getting charged emergency tax?

One of the guys at work pointed out that a lot of us have the tax code 647L on our pay slips. This is listed on the HMRC website as an emergency tax code.
I read through the conditions and it says I may be getting deducted that amount if I have recently started a new job: I've been serving for 8 years now so this clearly isnt the case.
Can anyone help with this? A tax rebate would be great but don't really know what to do about it as our clerks don't seem to really understand the system.

Hello everyone,
I am on 647L for the last 3 years and all so are my friends at work. However, my mum used to on 647L but she just noticed that since April her tax code has changed to K119. Does any oneknow what is this type of tax code??0 -

If it was an emergency tax code it would have after it WK1/MTH1 as the tax is worked out on a wk by wk/mth by mth basis on the emergency tax code. If its just 647L its a normal tax code.0

It is the basic personal allowance tax code so this is the one that the tax office tells you to use as soon as someone enters your employment instead of using BR which is the emergency rate where lots of tax will be deducted 'just in case' so if you are being charged tax at 647L I would think no refund would be issued.
I really hope you dont work in payroll / for HMRC if you think that BR is the same as an emergency tax code!!:heartpuls baby no3 due 16th November :heartpulsTEAM YELLOWDFD 16/6/10"Shut your gob!
