T tax code

I did some supply teaching last tax year and just earned over the tax threshold so paid a little PAYE. My tax code was 1150L.

My tax code now shows as 1185L on the gov gateway.

I am still supply teaching in the same school and my last weekly payslip shows a 500T tax code. I will ask them of course but why would this be? A search shows it's if my tax code is under investigation or I earn over £100,000, but I have no idea why I would be under investigation as nothing has changed.

I get paid by an umbrella company and work for an teaching agency.

  • A "T" tax code applies in lots of situations, not just the two you mention.

    How many jobs do you actually have, 1, 2 or 3??

    Probably simplest to call HMRC sort out who you are working for this tax year and make sure you have the correct tax code for each job. Otherwise you will end up owing tax or being owed tax back from HMRC.

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry if it wasn't clear...

    This is one job - teaching full time 5 days a week, technically employed by the teaching agency, but they pay the umbrella company and the umbrella pays me. All pretty straightforwards.
