How do I find out my tax code?

There are several places you can find your tax code:

PAYE Coding Notice, Form P2 – you and your employer get this ‘notice of coding’ from HMRC in the mail every March. It sets out how much tax your employer will deduct from your wages in the coming tax year.
Payslips – weekly or monthly, from your employer.
P60 – your annual tax summary, from your employer.
P45 – document received from an employer when you stop working for them.
HMRC – if you cannot find any of these documents, then call HMRC. You will need your National Insurance Number and they will have security questions for you, before they release your tax code.
Pension advice slip – for private pension tax codes, this figure is also shown on your P60.
