Tax Query

[hugginsc]

Does anyone know roughly how much, the emergency tax code ( BR ) roughly aquates to?

I think it lies someone between 25% - 40 %, but I would like ot if somone could actually tell me the correct answer.

Thanks

Emergency Tax is no longer indicated by a BR code. Instead the basic personal allowance (currently 503L) applies.

If your tax code is BR then it means 22% on all income covered by that code.

Kempie may well be right that it is no longer used as the emergency tax code but it does exist as a valid code.
