BR
Tax Code BR (Basic Rate)
What does this code mean?
BR stands for Basic Rate. This code is often used for a second job or pension. It assumes your tax-free allowance has already been used up by your main job. All income on this code is taxed at 20% from the first pound. If BR is used on your only job, you are almost certainly overpaying tax.
Who gets this code?
People with a second job, second pension, or sometimes when you start a new job and HMRC does not have your details yet.
