Identifying the tax code to use for employees depends on how your taxes are calculated, info. I'll add more details regarding this matter so you can set up your workers accordingly.

 

You can determine an employee's tax code on their P45 or tax code notice from HMRC. Select Week 1/Month 1 if your taxes are calculated on a pay-by-pay basis. However, choose the Cumulative if taxes are calculated on a year-to-date basis, taking the taxable earnings into account and the tax already paid in the year.

 

For employees that don't have a P45, please seek help from HMRC through this website: Work out your new employee's tax code. You can pick Cumulative if the result doesn't specify Week 1/Month 1.
