‘BR’ stands for ‘Basic Rate’ which means that you are paying tax at the basic rate of 20% (currently).

The BR tax code is sometimes known as the ‘emergency tax code’.

Mrs Clarke: Is that your only job? A BR tax code is usually for people with two jobs and it means you do not get a personal allowance. Your eligibility for a tax rebate depends on how much you earn and how much you have paid in tax. You can check using our calculator here:

Usually all second jobs are taxed with BR code which means whole(not personal allowance applies) amount you earn from that job will be taxed.

I have just started a full time job as I have deferred from uni but my tax code is BR. Is this correct? It seems like a lot of tax deduction from my salary. Thank you ever so much for your advice.
