Tax Code 1257T Explained

What does this code mean?

1257T gives you the same £12,570 Personal Allowance as 1257L, but the T suffix means HMRC has flagged items for review. This might be because your benefits are estimated, you have income that needs checking, or HMRC requires additional information. The tax deduction is the same, but your code may change once HMRC completes the review.

Who gets this code?

Taxpayers with estimated benefits, complex circumstances, or where HMRC is in the process of reviewing your tax affairs.

Is it correct?

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

Think you overpaid on 1257T?

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