Tax queries

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) set your tax code which includes your tax free allowance.

We are, therefore, unable to provide information on how the coding was decided or why it might have changed. If your query relates to this please contact the tax office direct. The Northumbria Area office deals with our pensioners. The contact details are shown below:

Please quote the tax reference 504/15018 and your National Insurance number.

If you have any general queries with regards to the deduction of tax such as when a new code will be operated from or if we have received an amended coding please contact us. Please note we may need to direct you back to the tax office depending on your query.
