The lack of a helpline doesn’t make any difference, if you get put on an emergency tax code it’ll stay there until the end of the tax year anyway. This usually only happens if your new employer is shit or your previous employer was shit and/or stealing your taxes.
Not defending this, mind. Underfunding tax collection and making it really hard for people without expensive accountants is … exactly what we have come to expect of the robber barons who run the country.

Absolutely. I’ve been in emergency tax, and it’s often a situation where you don’t have a lot of money coming in to begin with!
