If you don't know your PAYE reference, it can be found on a P6/P9 coding notice or on your white payslip booklet P30BC.

If you don't pay your staff through a PAYE scheme, your staging date will be 1 April 2017.

Step 1: Enter your PAYE reference:

• Tip: An example of a PAYE reference is 913 / WZ5121A. In this example you'd enter '913' and 'WZ5121A'.Take care not to confuse numbers with letters; zero and the letter 'O' look very similar!

Step 2: Enter the words/digits displayed below and then select 'Show my staging date'
