Standard code is 647L. I got a letter recently about my tax code for 2010-2011 and it was wrong as I am paying money back to HMRC (long angry story).
I rang up the number on the letter and they sorted it all out (hopefully)

you've started your first job since the start of the tax year and haven't been receiving any taxable state benefits or a state or company pension
you've started a new job but you've had another job or other jobs or received taxable state benefits during the year
you've started a new job and were previously self-employed
there's been a change in your tax code during the year because, for example, you've started to get company benefits or the State Pension
Taken straight from the HMRC website. Tbh i don't know loads about payroll only a bit.
nope none of them apply to me
apparently ii have heard they messed up loads of tax codes, so im going to wait untill next week and phone them ... and have a rant

Yep, as will be a new tax year so you wont have any previous values.
TBH Im not sure why they told them to keep you on that, on a Week 1 Month 1 basis, if you have given them your P45 they'll have your values to date and you should just be on standard 647L.

i was given the BR tax code the other week after being in my job 8 years. Rang em up and the only explanation they could give was that the systems had a 'little hiccup' and generated the wrong letter. Now have the correct one thankfully.
