HMRC have started to send 2009-10 tax codes (forms P2) to individuals (starting from 12 January through until the end of February).
These will be accompanied by a flyer explaining where they can get further information and check their codes on the HMRC website.
Apparently it has not been possible for the department to issue agents' copies at the same time as their clients’ copies, but they will follow shortly.
HMRC acknowledge that ‘this is not ideal for agents and apologise in advance for any inconvenience this might cause’.
Employers will be sent their copy of code numbers (forms P9) between 13 February and 13 March.
