What is the correct HMRC tax code for spirits over 22% alcohol?

The tax code for spirits over 22% alcohol has changed. **Code 345** is now the correct code to use when submitting W5 forms to HMRC. This replaced the previous code 451. If you're experiencing issues submitting with the new code, check you're referencing the current version of the HMRC guidance, as some members found they were initially reading outdated information.
