### One field on a payslip is worth checking every April

The tax code is a short string that determines everything else and is wrong surprisingly often, usually after changing job or having two at once.

#### The tax code

A number and a letter. The number is roughly a tenth of your tax-free allowance. If it starts with BR or D0, all your income is being taxed.

#### Year to date

Cumulative figures for the tax year. Useful because a single month tells you very little and an error shows up here first.

#### Deductions

Everything other than tax and national insurance should be something you agreed to. Anything unfamiliar is worth one question.
