0T-M1

Tax Code 0T M1

What does this code mean?

0T M1 is the monthly equivalent of 0T W1 and represents the most severe emergency tax situation for monthly-paid workers. With no Personal Allowance and non-cumulative calculation, you will overpay tax substantially. You should provide your new employer with your P45 from your previous job and contact HMRC to get your correct code issued as quickly as possible.
