Help me understand English Tax please
Hi, I moved to England with my parents last year from France and have just started a new job. I got my first pay on Friday and I had to pay tax but I thought I would not be taxed as I am starting in December and so won't earn enough money this year to be over the amount you have to pay tax for. I use this tax tool to see and it says I pay no tax so why they take £126 in my payslip? I think I dont understand the English tax.

It's impossible to tell without knowing all the circumstances. The best thing you can do is telephone HMRC ( 0300 200 3300) , quoting your NI number if you have one, and ask them what is going on. Generally, a tax code issued this late in the tax year (6 April-5 April) results in little or no tax being payable, unless you are a high earner.

- It sounds to me as though HMRC have put you on what is called a 'month 1' (or 'week 1' if you are paid weekly) basis, which means that you don't get a cumulative allowance.
- They typically do this when they are waiting for sufficient information from various sources, including a current employer, to enable them to issue a cumulative tax code.
