Ive been asked in my exam to allocate a tax code to a person, who was described as Mrs A.T. and was born 30/08/39. For a start I struggle to decide whether this person should be classified as a married person or a single person?
Ive worked out that Mrs AT as a single person would have tax code P903 as a married person she would have V653 for the year 08/09.
I'd say she was married and as she is over retirement age and you don't know whether or how much state and/or other pension she is in receipt of she should be on BR.
Makes no difference how long she has worked for the company. Her tax situation could be complex because she is over 65. If she had been paying a full stamp she would be entitled to a full state pension which is taxable in addition to her salary. If she had been paying a married woman's stamp she wouldn't. She may have a private pension, she may have a works pension from another company. She may be entitled to pension but has decided to defer them until she stops working. This is not a straightforward case in any way, shape or form without further information.
