Tax Code :)

Just wondered if anyone can give me any advice ( sorry if i have posted this in the wrong board).

Any way, im 21, a university student who works part time.
I get paid fornightly and i think the most i have picked up would be about £100 a fortnight.

I am currently on tax code BR ( i cant make sense of what this means lol).

Just wondered if any one can tell me if i am on the wrong tax code or not, tried the tax code checker and it just keeps telling me that the tax code i have entered is wrong as it does not have a letter :S

you are on emergency, tax, i.e. 20% of everything, so you need to supply a P45, or fill in a P46, so co can tax you correctly giving you the right allowances..

Right okay, thanks for that
Been looking online and really couldnt make sense of it all.

How do i do this?? Do i phone them?

And will i get this money back?

You ask your employer for a p46 and they will send it to the tax office. This will put you on a week1/month 1 code meaning you will be paying tax correctly on the current earnings. The tax ofice will write back and change your tax code and you will get a rebate through your wages.

you can also download a P46 from the HMRC site if your employer looks at you blankly,
