Well...I am not English proficient and I want somebody who's familiar with filing up form P11 to help me understand this phrase:
with effect from week 49

The whole sentence was used this way:

Mr. Brown is using Tax code 503L and is paid on a week 1 basis for weeks 47 and 48. You are advised by HMRC that code 256L is his new tax code. You apply his new tax code (with effect from week 49) in week 50.

My question is what tax code should I use for week 49?
Why would they just say apply new code from week 49 and use this phrase inside the parenthesis?

I've been thinking to use the new code in week 49 and so on. But am not so sure about it. Thus, I posted this rant.

Can someone advise me please?
I think 503L is an emergency tax code, so you pay tax on what you earn that week. When you move onto a real code, you probably shift to a week behind (hence stuff about week 53).
