100L

Tax Code 100L Explained

What does this code mean?

100L means you only have £1,000 of tax-free income. Nearly your entire Personal Allowance has been consumed by deductions. At this level, it is strongly recommended to contact HMRC or check your online tax account to verify this is correct, as errors in coding notices do occur.

Who gets this code?

Rare. Usually indicates very large deductions for benefits, state pension, or underpayment recovery. Could be an error worth investigating.

Is it correct?

Check your latest P45 or Payslip to see if this matches your current situation.

Think you overpaid on 100L?

If your tax code was wrong for even a few months, HMRC might owe you money. Upload your P60 or Payslip to check instantly.
