Planned system outage - 12 September 2026 | Our online services including myIR, self service phone lines and gateway services will be unavailable on Saturday 12 September, 2026 from 1pm to approximately 10.30pm while we complete a planned system update. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Tax codes help your employer (or whoever pays you) work out how much tax to deduct from your pay, benefit or pension. Tax rates are used to work out how much tax you need to pay on your total income for the year, from all sources.

You need to choose a tax code for each source of income and provide this to your employer or income payer.   

If your income changes, you may need to change your tax code, so you’re taxed correctly for each income source.
