New tax code

[Gary55]

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere but I noticed I paid a bit more tax this week and then noticed my tax code had changed. I wondered if this is to do with the lump sum last week and will it correct itself thanks

That wouldn’t have changed your tax code do you have any tax arrears?

It has nothing to do with the lump sum as otherwise we would all have changed. I have exactly the same pay as two weeks ago.

Could be a couple of things, as someone has mentioned you may owe tax from a previous year or if you have started to take pension that will affect the code.
If you are on Government Gateway that will tell you .

if your lucky enough to have savings, it could be the tax on the interest.

I'm now taking my pension and pay tax on savings thanks for the information
