Ignore - clearly HMRC has not been notified that you left this employer. Whay about your current employer though?

I would tend to phone HMRC before they end up thinking you have 2 jobs and giving you a BR code for your main job.

What code did they give you for this employer and what code have you got for the job you are working at now ( assuming you are working)?

The three jobs you have now only add up to 730 whereas the normal tax code would be 747 so unless you know of a reason you have lost around £175 of your personal allowance. May be a benefit in kind and meant to be lower but you should know.

Adding in the 78T would give you 808 so more than the personal allowance by 61 or £615.

If none of this makes sense I would be phoning HMRC to get your records updated.

If the last 3 codes are also 2012-13 ..... the whole add up to the new personal allowance for the coming year. So you need to contact HMRC and get it resolved.

I had missed the fact that the code applied to 20012/13 tax year so totally agree with Mike here.
