Taxman to inform employers of tax code changes


Meanwhile, HMRC has announced it will write to employers to inform them of the tax code changes due in September. The changes are a result of the Chancellor's announcement in May that the basic personal allowance will increase from £5,435 to £6,035, and the basic rate limit will reduce from £36,000 to £34,800. The new tax codes and rate bands should be used on the first pay day on or after 7 September 2008.
