Has anyone found that moving into the pensioned class has done weird stuff to their tax code? Mine was 1257L and on my first pension payment from my largest pension provider they've told me my tax code is now 466 something. I'm properly confused.

If HMRC haven't written to you about your tax coding you can log on using government gateway and see how your code is calculated.

JB - are you getting any state pension? That is paid to you untaxed/gross, so your tax code is 'automatically' reduced from the 'tax free amount' by the amount of pension you get per year.
Note it is also pension accrued, not necessarily paid.

So if (eg) you were due to paid £400 on 7th April, about £384 of that would be taxed in the prior tax year, not the year you actually get it.

eg from last year, my tax coding (simplified a bit):-
Personal Allowance £12570
Less State Pension £9650

Total tax free amount 'left' £2920

Tax code 292

That is sent to my 'main' company pension provider, while my secondary payment providers (FAS) are given a code of BR - 'tax everything at basic rate'.
