WageNT Tax Code — What It Means
No Income Tax is taken from this income at all.
How NT changes your pay on a £30,000 salary
| Code | Income tax / year | Per month | Take-home / month* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard 1257L | £3,486 | £291 | £2,210 |
| NT | £0 | £0 | £2,500 |
*Take-home per month here reflects income tax only; National Insurance and any student loan or pension are separate.
Why you might have the NT code
- Your income is covered by allowances or reliefs that remove any tax due on it.
- It can apply to certain pensions or to income taxed under other rules.
- You are not liable to UK Income Tax on this particular income.
How to fix a wrong code
NT is unusual, so if you are not sure why no tax is being taken, check the reason on your HMRC coding notice or contact HMRC.
