Tax Codes for New Starters
If you are a new starter and have not yet handed in your P45 or completed a HMRC New Starter checklist, please send this via our contact form These can be used to update your tax code.
Incorrect Tax Codes
If you are not a new starter and feel your tax code is incorrect, please contact HMRC on 0300 200 3300 to discuss your tax code. The EMSS teams are only able to change a tax code when directed to do so directly from HMRC.
If you have been told by HMRC that your tax code has changed, but this is not reflected on your payslip, please make sure that the notification was received before the payroll deadline.
- Payroll deadlines for Nottingham City Council
- Payroll deadlines for Leicestershire County Council
- For school/academy employees, please consult the relevant team in your organisation regarding payroll deadlines or contact EMSS via the contact form for any queries
If the notification was received after this date it will be updated in your next month’s pay. If you believe that HMRC have notified us of a change of tax code before the payroll deadline, but this has not been actioned, please raise a query.
