Help please with BR tax code

Hi all,

Just a quick query as really not sure if correct or not.

DH went bankrupt in July 2010 and was discharged July 2011, we had no IPA as no disposable income left.

However (and this is the bit that has flumoxed us) he received in the post today a letter from HMRC saying that histax code for 2012/13 will be BR. Is this correct??

Thanks for any help:T

    BR is for basic rate not bankruptcy, you usually get one if recently changed jobs or started a second job

    give them a ring and ask them why, it might have some connection with the bankruptcy but it is not specificly a bankruptcy tax code
