I'm working as a temp & have been on BR tax code since July 08, does that code mean I'm paying too much tax?

Depending on your personal circumstances, and how much you are earning!! But the likely answer is yes, you are. Everyone is entitled to a 'tax free' entitlement each year, which you are currently not receiving. All of your earnings are being taxed

Yeah I'm the same, you need to fill in a P46 from ur employer and you will get a new tax code and tax rebate

I'm afraid there probably isn't a lot more they can do. ask them to see what your tax code was on the P45 that you gave them from your previous employer. If that says BR, then it's a historical issue which you will have to raise with the tax office. If that isn't the tax code, then your new employer has processed your details incorrectly and needs to inform the tax office of your correct tax code.

yes you are on basic rate tax - which is a temporary rip off tax. When you started work you should have given in your p45 or p60. This will then sort your tax code out. Phone tax office to sort, and get ready for a nice little back payment!

will take a bit of time for them to sort it out. sounds like your on a emergency tax code. just bear with it for the next week or 2. if nothing happens after that. speak to your pay dept and ask them why they are dragging their heels about it.

First the bad news your paying to much tax (30%), good news is you should get it back depending on how much you earn. If you have given the tax office either a P45 or P46 then they are sorting it out. However, it is down to you, NOT, your employer to sort it out.
