Tax and your pension

Your annual pension is taxable income.

We must apply the tax code that HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) gives us for you. Therefore, if you have a query about your tax code, please contact the tax office:

  • write to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Pay As You Earn, BX9 1AS
  • call 0300 200 3300 (available 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm Saturday) or textphone 0300 200 3319. If you are calling from abroad call +44 135 535 9022.

Please quote the tax reference 663/KP and your National Insurance Number.

If you have a query about the deduction of tax from your pension, contact our pension payroll section
