New Job Tax Code from 1257L to 0T

RKO1

My previous employment my tax code was 1257L. I left in July 2023. Beginning of January 2024. I started a new job and got my first payslip end of last month. My tax code is now (0T) I did not give my P45 to my new employee so I automatically thought I'd be on (BR) emergency tax. How do I know if I'm on the correct tax code as I seemed to have been tax alot?

Thanks

You should have given your new employer your P45. Chances are now, HMRC will alter your tax code (if needed).

0T is often used when you (or your employer) don't comply with the new starter process i.e. you don't provide the information requested or they don't bother obtaining it from you.

First step would be to check your Personal Tax Account to see if HMRC have done anything in response to getting details of your new employment.

If not just phone them and explain the situation so they can issue a new code.  The emergency tax code (1257L) is quite often the correct one.

On the employer checklist 0TM1 is used when no P45 was provided and

You’re unable to get a declaration from your employee

Will they give the difference in return?

You didn't complete the new starter checklist?

Handover your p45 as well

No, HMRC won't make any refund now, your new employer will the first time they use the new (cumulative) tax code.

However HMRC will refund the tax if this isn't resolved in the current tax year.
