    tax code BR means every penny of that income is being taxed at 20% basic rate.
    132T means you can earn £132x tax free with anything above that taxed at 20% basic rate.
    T means that there are potentially multiple things impacting on the tax code and is under review with HMRC

    Have just found my last P60 This one paid me £12664.04 over the year and no tax was taken and the tax code was 166m .So if you add the five pensions together I was paid £5156.83 and tax paid was £464.24.And then there is the state pension .

    If this one paid you "£12664.04" over the year how can you have been paid "£5156.83" for all 5 pensions?

    Did you reach SPA before 6/4/16?

    If so, what is shown on your State Pension statement for  Basic State Pension and Additional State Pension?

    If after 6/4/16, what is the amount of State Pension?  Do you have a "protected payment'?

    This would only be relevant to you if you had reached SPA after 5/4/16 and were in receipt of an amount higher than a full new state pension.

    I receive £200.14 per week

    In the very simplest scenario of  income of £10,407 (SP) + £5196  ( occupational/private pensions) and no other taxable income and a standard personal allowance.

     State Pension £10,407 per annum.

    £12,500 (standard single person's allowance) - £10.407 = £2093.

     £5196 - £2093 = £3013

     £3013 taxable at 20%.

    Tax of £620 per annum is due.

    The tax will be taken from one or more of your occupational/private pensions.
