K789 Tax Code
hi All
today I updated company benefits for my salary which is in the 20% tax rate.
I updated online in January but these didn’t change for some reason and today have had to update fuel benefit and a change of car.
this has left me with a tax code of k789
how does this work now ? Will they take as much as they can or will they take a little each month untill I’ve paid what I owe ?
thanks !

In my experience they will take what you owe over the remainder of the financial year. Others may offer different experiences.

Is it a straight K789 or is there an X after it ?
K789 means you have no tax free allowance and will be taxed on an additional £658 pm on top of your pay for the rest of the year. If there is no X suffix you are already in debt on April's £658.

there is an x. So presume it will be 658 quid extra tax they’ll get back monthly untill April next year ?

was meant to say they’ll take a bit of the 658 each month.

No, £658 per month, if they're looking to collect £7,890, as implied by the code…

Your online personal tax account should show their workings if you don't want to phone.

They re not taking an additional £658 per month, they are taxing you on an additional £658 per month plus taxing the amount the previous code gave tax free. If your salary is in excess of £29800 there will be some tax deducted at 40% as well. As suggested above check your on line tax account as that will show exactly how the code was calculated, as you have mentioned change of car it is not unusual for them to foul that up, this code is going to take around an extra £4K in tax over the reminder of the year.
