Although you will receive a 'NT'tax code your HR dept will not question you about this. If they do you should refer them to HMRC as they are the one's that decide you tax code and are not allowed to give out information regarding tax codes.

?tax, Not relevant to myself as I have already gone BR in March Question/info for a friend and interest. Why does tax code go to nil. Do you pay no tax for the rest of the year and is this so you have more money to repay debts in IPA.If this is the case and you pay no tax then do you have to make this up in follwing yrs ?
If you declare BR close to the end of the tax year then you won't get a NT tax code but if it is at the beginning/middle of the tax year then the OR claims the tax to pay your creditors. If you don't get a NT tax code then you don't have to make this payment up.
I am not too sure why there isn't a standard length of time that everyone should have a NT code (i.e. for the 1st year of BR regardless of when you declare) but there must be some sort of agreement between the OR/Courts and HMRC.
