PAYE Coding Notice 2007/08

peterjones81

Hi,

I did not get a new coding notice this year. Out of interest, is it a different design to the 2006/07 coding notice, or is it exactly the same but with 2007/08 as the date?

Thanks in advance.

Have a look on your March and April payslips and check the tax code on each.

You will probably find that is has changed.

You dont automatically receive notification of this from HMRC. I haven't had one for years. I think you would only get one if your code was differerent to the *norm*!

Thanks for the reply,

I did notice a tax code change, however in my original post I was more referring to the cosmetic aspects of the coding notice. Like is it a different layout or different colour? Could you tell a 2006/2007 notice apart from a 2007/2008 notice if it weren't for the date?

Cheers

The 07/08 coding notices were very similar to last year's, but are very different to those issued the year before that. I'm not sure why anyone would want to know though!

Lol! My grandad used to work at the Inland Revenue and he has an interest in these things. He used to collect them. I said I'd tried to find out if this year's one had a new design or anything since I didn't get a new one this year. Sounds strange, I know.

your tax code is changed automatically by the company, it goes up by 19 points. The normal tax code goes upto 522 unless there is circumstances whereby it is lower. Then by 18th May the payroll clerk has to make mandatory changes to payroll,
