Updated Message from Nationwide - Ongoing pensioner tax code issue

25/08/2021

You may recall that some pensioner members were impacted by a tax code issue resulting from an isolated incident when we reported April’s pay information to HMRC after moving to a new payroll system. If you were affected by this, you’ll have received a communication from us in June.

We know that for the majority of pensioners impacted, you’ll have already had your record corrected and received a revised tax code.
