nil tax code

I went br in early Aug, I am waiting to have a nil tax code set up.I am sending payslips to moon beaver and have had a letter from the tax office telling me that it will happen but have justhad my nov pay and I am still paying tax. At this rate it will be April before it starts!

Is this normal for it to take so long?

    Hi we went BR in Aug 09 and my husbands nil tax didn't kick in until Jan 10 pay.

    He then paid Jan/Feb/March nil tax to Moonbeever and April 10 his code reverted to normal :)

    I was BR in July, and nil tax only started in November.

    Still waiting for Moonbeever to contact me, so it's sitting in a friend's spare savings account so I can't dip into it.
    We may not have it all together, but together we have it all :beer:
