The figues 527 tels you that you are able to earn in a year £5270.00 tax free, in other words you do not pay tax if you earn less than this a year.
The letter L - is used if you are eligible for the basic personal allowance. In other words the normal allowance.
Now the tax free allowance is used as follows if you are paid monthly then the allowance is divided by12 thus £5270.00/12=£439.17, therefore anything over this amount in a month will be taxed.
If you are paid weekly then the allowance is divided by 52 thus
£5270.00/52 = £101.35, therefore anything paid over this amount per week will be taxed.
Hope that helps

It's the amount that you can earn before you are taxed. Just add a zero on the end, so you can earn £5,270 before you are taxed. This is then divided by twelve and subtracted from the monthly income tax.

It's your tax free allowance on your income witch is £5,270 before tax. sorry I can't help with the (L) though.

It's your 'Personal Allowance' i.e. how much you are allowed to earn before you start getting Taxed.
In this case, £5,270 (in the year).
