I have been payin tax for nearly a year and my year wages in total come up to about £1500 a year and i am 17 years old and have been taxed quite alot, am i entitled to all of the tax that i have paid back?

TaxFix - Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Hi Lisa,

If you have only earned £1,500 during the tax year you will be able to claim back any income tax that you have paid. Currently the tax free allowance in the UK is £6,475, which means that you can earn up to this amount before you need to pay any tax.

Hi, Ive been working for a company since Jan2010 and was straight away getting emergancy taxed.I filled out tax form in april and employer said i should get it back in May’s paycheck. Does she literally mean the amount ive been emergancy taxed in Jan,Feb,March + April I will get back ontop of what ive earnt in May? I’m confused, Basically will i have a bigger pay cheque for May because their giving it back to me?

TaxFix - Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Hi Olivia,

It depends on how your employer’s payroll system works. If you do not get the emergency tax back in your paycheck you can make a claim when you get your P60.

olivia - Thursday, May 20th, 2010

So i should get it back in Mays? when do i get a p60? :S

TaxFix - Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Olivia: You get a P60 at the end of the tax year, between April 5th and 1st June.

My friend and I set up a CIC. she already has another job earning around £19,000. Since oct we had her in our system on her tax code from her other job. we’ ve realised this is wrong and we should have done her a p46 so I filled a p46 in online for her and its given her code BR. on the tax calculator now It says her first week with us she owes over £1000 in tax and then £20 a week after that. she gets £100 a week from the business. Is this right????? Francesca

TaxFix - Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Francesca: Second jobs are normally on the tax code BR (Emergency tax). This is because the first job will getting the tax allowance. I hope this helps.

TaxFix - Monday, May 24th, 2010

Liam: When you finish working for the company you will get a P45. Keep this safe, and then at the end of the tax year you can claim a tax refund on any overpayment of tax.

K - Monday, May 24th, 2010

Hi,

I have been emergency taxed since November of last year and have been in a few temp jobs since then; I’ve been in this temp job since Feb. I just wondered how long it will take to get my rebate back and if you have to wait until the next tax year if it doesn’t appear in your payslip? Also, is it a different process if you are temping? Thanks.

TaxFix - Monday, May 24th, 2010

K: If you were paying emergency tax in February you will be able to claim any overpayment back now, as the tax year ended on 5th April. You should have received a P60 from your employer or a P45. If you have this you can make a claim here. The process is the same if you are a temp or permanent employee.

K - Monday, May 24th, 2010

Hi,

Thanks for that but I haven’t recieved A P60 yet so I will get on to my employers and chase this up. Will I also be able to claim now for the period of November 09 – Feb 10? Also; if the emergency tax rate is 22% – what is the “normal” tax rate? Thanks for your help.

TaxFix - Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

K: Yes you can apply for a tax refund for the previous tax year (April 6th 2009 until April 5th 2010). The emergency tax rate is 20%. A ‘normal’ tax rate will tax into account your personal allowance (currently £6,475) and divide this allowance evenly throughout the year, so that you pay less tax. The emergency tax rate does not give you this £6,475 allowance.

Hi,
I am a relief chef, meaning I provide holiday or sickness cover or just cover because the establishment is short of staff.

I work through an agency. It used to be that relief chefs were self-employed, i.e. they would hand out invoices to the establishments for hours worked and services provided.

But not any more we are told by the agency. Now apparently the establishment for whom we provide a service will pay tax and ni.

Yet I provide a service to a great variety of places, sometimes I work there only for a couple of days, sometimes a week, sometimes several weeks.

How could I claim back my emergency tax, which I will surely be taxed? Do I get send a multitude of P60′s or how does it work?
Appreciate your answer

Ed - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

I’ve been working full time since January 2010, and I was on an emergency tax code for over 10 weeks, due to various cock-ups with my previous employer.

Now received my P60, so just wondering how exactly I can go about claiming my rebate.

TaxFix - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Anonymous: If you continue to technically work for the company you will get a P60 at the end of the tax year (April 5th) from each employer. When you have a second or third employer you usually get put on an emergency tax code for these additional jobs. It is likely that you will overpay tax, so be sure to claim your tax refund at the end of the tax year.

TaxFix - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Ed: If you were on an emergency tax code, you will be able to claim a tax refund. As you have your P60, its quite an easy and straight forward process. All you need to do is apply here and send us your P60. We can then process your claim and send you your refund.

TaxFix - Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Sam: This can often happen when you work even if you do not intend to earn much during the year. You can claim a tax refund at the end of the tax year and if you earn below the tax free allowance you can claim all your tax back.

David - Thursday, May 27th, 2010

I have recently started a new role having been a Director of my own company for the last 7.5 years. I do not wish to dissolve my company, just put it into a dormant state, but cannot do this until after my year end (December 2010) due to the fact that it has been active and trading for part of this year. As I will not be dissolving my own company I will not be able to issue a P45 for myself. My new employment is currently being taxed at BR. I have not drawn a salary from my own company and will no longer do so therefore the salary from my new job will be my sole salary. How do I move from BR back to the tax code I had before I started my new role? Many thanks.

TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Naomi: Yes you can claim back any overpayment of emergency tax from 2007. Do you have any of your P60 and P45′s. If you do it’s quite easy to claim back your tax refund. All you need to do is apply online here.

TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010

TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010

H: You should check at the end of the tax year when you get your P60 if you are due a tax refund. Often your employer does not give you the tax back and you need to claim it yourself.

TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Ali: You should only be paying emergency tax (BR) on your second job. How long have you been paying tax like this for? If it has been happening since before 5th April you can claim a tax refund for the previous year now. Just complete the online tax refund application. To stop paying emergency tax, give your first employer a P46.

TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010

P: If you have been overpaying emergency tax, you can claim a tax refund. You need to apply for your national insurance number before making a claim. You can get a national insurance number by going to your local job centre. Once you have your national insurance number, and you have your P60 for the previous tax year, you can make a tax refund claim by going here.

TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Neil - Monday, May 31st, 2010

Hi – advice please guys…
I have been notified that an old company pension scheme (previous employer over 10yrs ago) has been wound up and I have am to receive the funds as a lump sum. The amount is only around £3000 and it says the first 25% will be tax free. The remainder, however, will be taxed at “emergency tax rate”. Does this sound right ? I am a normal PAYE employee, so why does 75% of this payout get taxed at “emergency rate” ?

TaxFix - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Neil: ‘Emergency tax’ is simply taxed at the basic rate (20%). Often you can get charged the basic rate of tax, if you are receiving other income which is using up your tax free allowance.

TaxFix - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

David: You can write to your local tax office and request that your tax code be changed for your job, so that you receive your personal tax free allowance through it.

I have been put on an emergency tax code and my previous employer will not give me a P45 as according to her as i was on a temporary contract I am not entitled to a P45. I am sure this is incorrect. As the new tax year starts in April have I been paying too much tax and NI? How can I get put on the correct tax code without a P45 and how long does it take to update?

TaxFix - Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

TaxFix - Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Katie: If you were on an emergency tax code before April, you will have probably overpaid tax and be due a refund. Were you given a P60 from your current employer? If you were you can claim your tax refund online here. If you were not given a P45, you can give your new employer a P46 which will act as a replacement for a P45 and take you off the emergency tax code.

Sarah - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

I have just realised that i have been taxed at BR since staring my new job last November. I have spoken to the Tax office and they say they have now ammended my code and that the tax i have overpaid in this financial year (ie April & May) will be paid into my next months salary, however to claim back the tax i have overpaid last financial year, November to March (my tax code from my previous employer was correct) i would need to send off a copy of my P60 and my P45 from my last job. I have my P60 that was given to me this year but do not have my P45, i do however have a P46 which i filled in for my new employer in November, can i use this in replacement of the P45 to claim back my tax? I do also have all my payslips from my previous employer, would they help in claiming back my tax?

TaxFix - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Sarah: A P46 can not be used as a replacement for a P45 when claiming a tax refund. If you do not have a P45 you can write to your employer and a request a ‘statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. This can be used as a a replacement to a P45.

Not really sure how the whole ‘emergency tax’ thing works to be honest. So could you help me please, if i was to earn an average?

TaxFix - Friday, June 11th, 2010

Joseph: Basically, sometimes you get put on an emergency tax code when your employer does not know what tax code to put you on. If you are on an emergency tax code you do not get any tax allowances, and so likely overpay tax. If you overpay tax, you can claim it back. The amount of the refund will depend on how much you earn and how much you pay in tax. You can check using our tax calculator.

I am an Australian on a working holiday and have been charged emergency tax rate from march to June. I have worked in two places but cannot get my p45 from my previous employer as the company has shut down. This inturn has meant that my new employer has put me on emergency tax aswell. I plan on leaving the uk in July. I have not earned above 6475 pounds. Can I claim back tax with no p45 or p60, and how when it is over two tax years? Cheers

TaxFix - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Dane: If you leave the UK you can claim a tax refund. Your current employer will give you a P45 when you finish working for them. With regard to your previous employer, they should have given you a P45, and if they are no longer in business it might be difficult to get a replacement. The Inland Revenue may have records of your payment and tax and you can therefore still claim a refund if this is the case.

Hi. I am having difficulty in obtaining a P45/60 from my employer. My employer has sent incorrect income/earnings details to HMRC. As a result of this HMRC have said that i owe approx. £600 in tax shortfall. However HMRC are willing to reassess my tax liability for the previous tax year if I produce a P45/60 or an earnings statement from this employer. Therein lies the problem as this employer is getting dodgy and wont issue any of the required documents for a reassessment. What are the options available to me to force the employer to comply with this request?

Thank you.

TaxFix - Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Martin: Usually you should only pay emergency tax if you have two jobs. If you only have one job and are paying emergency tax, there is a high chance that you are overpaying tax. At the end of the tax year you will get a P60, or if you finish working for your employer you will be given a P45. Keep these safe and at the end of the tax year (April 2011) you can claim back any overpayment of tax.

You can then input these amounts into our tax rebate calculator to see if you are able to claim any tax back.

Firstly, I was in full time (school) education in the months of April, May and June – the months I have been paid for; and secondly, I resigned from my old job the day after filling in my P46 for my new job, however I am aware that the BR tax code means that I am being taxed 20% on my new job. I don’t believe that I am earning enough to be taxed, however I would like some clarification on how to claim back my money please.

RCP - Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Hi, Im a nurse and I started my first job in October 2009. I was on emergency tax code BR CUMUL until last month, now I’ve got it changed to 647LCUMUL which is the correct one I think. I was expecting a tax rebate and what I’d like to know is how will this be shown on my payslip? My question is how will I know when I’ve got it back and how much it is? Will it come up as a separate item on my pay slip or will my PAYE just be lower to compensate for the refund? My PAYE does seem low this month, even taking into account that I’m now on the right code. Please help!

TaxFix - Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Kirsty: You are correct, if you are paying emergency tax you will be taxed at 20% and will not be receiving any personal tax allowance, which reduces your tax liability. If you earn below £6,475 in a year you can claim all your tax back. Keep all your P45 and P60′s safe and at the end of the tax year in April 2011 you will be able to claim any overpayment of tax back.

Tracey - Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Im doing agency work and have timesheets saved up, and get paid weekly. I start a new job on 15th August and plan to change the agency job to my second job on the 14th of August, so I am wondering can I still send in my timesheets weekly for work I have done over July after the starting date of my new job and not have to pay emergency tax as the work I will be getting paid for will have been done before I start my new job?

Kayleigh - Monday, July 12th, 2010

I’m 17 yrs old and I have just started my first part time job. My net income for 2 weeks was £110 but I only received £88. Does this sound correct to you??

Kayleigh - Monday, July 12th, 2010

Forgot to say that I am also still in full time education.

TaxFix - Monday, July 12th, 2010

Kayleigh: If you earn less than £6,475 in the current tax year then you should pay no tax. If you do earn less than £6,475 and have paid tax you can claim it all back.

Heather - Monday, July 12th, 2010

Hi

I have just got a second job, so I should be paying 22% basic rate tax on it. The problem is i don’t pay tax on my first job as I only earn 5k. Surely that means in my second job i shouldn’t be taxed on the first £1500 i earn, but how will they know this? Is that what the emergency tax is for? I’m very confused, any help would be appreciated!

TaxFix - Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Heather: You are right, if you only earn £5000 a year in your first job, you shouldn’t be taxed on the remaining amount of your tax free allowance. Often people are overtaxed when they are are on an emergency tax code. If you contact your local tax office they can may be able to change your tax code of your second job. Remember to claim back any overpayment of tax.

scott - Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

I’ve been out of work for 17 months. Just found employment and it is monthly paye. As I av been out of work am I entitled to earn x amount before I am taxed, or does that just apply when your startin work for the first time ever. And therefore be put straight on emergency tax until my p45 arrives from the dole

my daughter has just changed jobs she still hasnt got her p45 from her old employer. her tax code on her first wage slip from her new employer is 247LX does the X mean she is paying more tax than she shoud

TaxFix - Thursday, July 15th, 2010

scott: You can currently earn £6,475 before you need to pay any tax. This allowance is usually evenly distributed in your pay cheque each month. You should check at the end of the tax year when you receive your P60, to see if you have overpaid and received your full allowance.

Robert - Friday, July 16th, 2010

Hi I am currently working two jobs and have been doing so since last December. My first job I started was only a weekend job and when I started my new Monday to Friday job in December I seem to be paying a lot of extra tax in my Monday to Friday job and little on my weekend one. One of my friends told me that this is the wrong way about as I earn more in my Monday to Friday job so that should be classed as my first job is this correct and might I be entitled to a tax rebate? Or would I be able to change this so my emergency tax is on my weekend job and I only pay normal tax in my Monday to Friday job? Any help would be great, Thankx

Hello!! I am full time student but working for full time over summer holidays. I never had proper previous job just placement type with no official payment. Now my tax code is MT1. Should I be able to claim my tax back if after my summer holidays I am back to 20 hours per week job with same company?

TaxFix - Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Robert: You can contact your local tax office and ask them to change your tax codes.

TaxFix - Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Jess - Monday, July 19th, 2010

Hello,

This is my first time working in the new tax year, and I am working on a short project that will pay me £2350.

I am getting taxed (tax code 647L 1) and the amount I will receive is £1781.86 – as this is my first time working since March (as I was in another country – not working) can I claim this tax back as it is under the £6k figure you mentioned earlier? And will I receive it next April if so? My friend seems to think that because I will go on to earn more than the £6k figure later on in the year, that I will not get this tax back.

Could you clairfy?

Many Thanks.

TaxFix - Monday, July 19th, 2010

linzi: If you only have one job, then you probably shouldnt be on an emergency tax code (BR). You will probably be overpaying tax and can therefore make a claim for a refund by applying here. You can contact your local tax office to change your tax code.

TaxFix - Monday, July 19th, 2010

Jess: If you earn below the tax free allowance (£6,475) you can claim back any tax that you pay at the end of the tax year. If you earn more you may still be due a tax rebate, it will depend on how much you have earned and how much you have paid in tax.

I have a second job 1st job been employee 27 years 2nd job 8 years been on tax code br in second for this amount if time was told 1st job was the main job as it was the highest earning and the only 1 i would be taxed on paying tax on both is that correct

natasha - Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Since I am working full-time than I will earn more than 6,475. So in that case can I claim my tax back? If I can when I should do that?

Thank you

TaxFix - Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

CHRISTINE: Your second job should usually be on a BR tax code because you will receive your personal allowance in your first job.

Kerstin - Sunday, July 25th, 2010

HI, I am an EU citizen. I completed my studies in England three years ago and have just come back to work part time in the UK. Unfortunately, I lost my National Insurance Card and I am therefore charged Emergency tax until the card arrives by post. Now, I have received my first payment, it was 510 pounds for two weeks before tax, and I only got 331.50 pounds after tax, which means a reduction of 35% on tax. This was very shocking to me. Please advise it this amount is correct.

Also, I am only going to work for 2 month this tax year as I will be a student again as of October. Please advise if I can claim the tax back and how that works. thanks a lot.

TaxFix - Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Kerstin: At the end of the tax year you can claim your overpayment of emergency tax. You should be given a P60 or a P45 if you stop working before the end of the tax year. When you have this you can check to see if you are due a tax rebate by using our tax calculator.

TaxFix - Monday, July 26th, 2010

Igor: If your employer was not given a P45 they may put you on an emergency tax code and you may over pay tax. You can use a P46 as a replacement for a P45, but don’t forget to reclaim any overpayment of tax.enthusatic

hi,

i have been working full time at my job for just over a year now. when i first started i was working a second job in a pub but after 3 months i stopped working at the pub. my tax rate has been BR at my full time job since i started working here which means i have been paying too much tax since sep 2009. i had my tax codes changed at the begining of this month and am now wondering when i will get a rebate and will it be from last september? also how long will it take to come to me? many thanks

Peter M - Monday, July 26th, 2010

Hi, i would like to ask you something about getting taxes back..who is eligible for it? some of my friends are recieving all income tax back, some are not, and they have all worked the whole year and made much more than 6470 pounds.. what does it depend on? does it make difference if you are an UK citizen or from other country of EU?

Igor - Monday, July 26th, 2010

and if i dont have P45 or P46?? i have never been working here before, so i cant give my employer anything..is there a way to change the BR tax code then? or will i get the money back at the end of the tax year if i come from EU even when i earn, lets say, 13OO0 pounds?

Anonymous - Monday, July 26th, 2010

thanks for the information. just one more question, is a reduction of 35% on emergency tax normal? Kerstin

TaxFix - Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Jamie: If you have been on an emergency tax code there is a very good chance you will be due a tax refund. Were you given a P60 at the end of the tax year? If so you can claim your tax rebate for the last tax year now, and then claim any refund for this year later. Refunds usually take between 4-8 weeks to be issued. You can claim your emergency tax rebate here.

TaxFix - Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Peter M: It all depends on how much you earn and how much you have paid in tax during the tax year. Some people stop working part way through the year or are put on the wrong tax code and so overpay tax. If you have your P60 you can check to see if you are due a tax rebate using our calculator.

I was doing a training scheme where i got training allowance so never got taxed. I then started a full time job and then turned 18. Because i didn’t have a tax code i am on an emergency tax code. Will i get anything back or do you start getting taxed as soon as you turn 18 and start a new job? Im so confused with it all.

TaxFix - Friday, August 6th, 2010

Jojo: If you were on an emergency tax code, it is likely that you overpaid tax. Were you paying emergency tax before April? If so you can claim a tax refund now. If you have your P60. If it was after April you will need to wait until the end of the tax year in April 2011.

Hi,
I was working as a temporary worker through an agency from Apr 2008 to Apr 2009 under the codes 522l,543L,603L then.It seemed like i paid a lot tax. Then i became a permanent worker, went to the code 647L. I am still under this code as we are in 2010, as my understanding this is the standard code. Now I want to claim the tax refund for the time this year i really thought i was paying a lot.
let say under 603L i got 318 pounds weekly, paid 40.60pounds for tax and 23.50 for the NI. Is it normal or I really paid over tax?

I am a british citizen permanently resident in Brazil. I will be 65 years old in December of this year. I have just received notice from my ex-UK employer that commuting my pension from them I will receive a one-time payment of around £9500 “of which 75% would be subject to tax at the emergency rate”. Why 75%? What is this “emergency rate” – 20%? They also say that they will send me a P45 reflecting this one-off payment. The only other pension that I will be receiving is the UK Basic State Retirement Pension (BSRP). Will I be able to claim a tax refund? Is it possible to “register” with HMRev&Cust beforehand so that my ex-employer doesn’t use this “emergency rate” when paying me? Who and how do I contact in HMRC so that in January 2011 when my ex-employer makes the payment they won’t use the “emergency rate”. I will have no other income in the UK in 2010-2011 besides this “one-time” payment and my BSRP (which will start to be paid in December of this year). Thanks for any help/advice that you can give me.

TaxFix - Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I have been working in a job from 30th May 2010 and will be finishing up now on the 17th September and have been emergency taxed for all of my time working here but on my pay slip it doesn’t say BR as they said first i wasn’t on emergency tax but after sorting it out they say i have always been on emergency tax and that my emergency tax will rise to 41% for my last month? Does it matter that it doesn’t say BR on my pay slip and will i be able to claim all this tax back. I am a student and this is just a summer job.

Francis - Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Graham, I assume that it will be deducted at 20%. At the top of this taxfix page it states: “How much is Emergency Tax?…. It is tax at the full 22% basic rate, which will be deducted from your pay.”
I assume that they just didn’t update the page as this WAS the BASIC rate back in 2008 – I believe.
I sent an email to HMRC but their “robot” reply told me only that I should receive a reply in about 3 weeks
As no-one has replied here I think that I’ll just have to wait for the HMRC reply. Cheers.

i started working for ASDA in 2007, and i was emergency taxed even tho i gave them a p45 from my previous job, i found out that they lost that, so i filled in a p60 i think it was that they gave me so i wouldnt get emergency taxed. or so they said, i was, for the first 2/3 months. i still havent had this back, i moved house and lost my p60 for that year, and was told i needed to get ASDA to apply for a copy for me to send to tax office. i asked this and they said they wouldnt do it for me! lots of other people i work with either recieved a check with the tax back, or got it in their wages the next financial year, ive seen nothing..so ive been searching everywhere and i have managed to come across it now while looking for something else! (always the way!) am i still able to claim that back now, and if so, how do i go about doing it?

Aileen - Saturday, September 11th, 2010

Hi i’ve just currently started a new job through an agency.. i realised the other day that i was on a BR code.. they told me i needed my p45 which i got then i was told that my on my p46 it said i was working 2 jobs. when i was 17 i was working 2 jobs while i was at college..i was at a restaurant and a retail shop.. i left my retail job after 7 months. soon as i finished college i started working full time at the restaurant and have done until now. basically my question is was i getting taxed too much all those 3 years i was working full time at the restaurant because it still said i was working 2 jobs when i wasn’t? i know it seems really complicated but any feedback or advice would be appreciated..
Thank you

Aileen: It depends on how much you earned and how much you paid in tax. Use our tax calculator to see if you may be due a tax refund.

Rachel - Thursday, September 16th, 2010

Hello,

I’m from Australia and have been working in the UK on my visa for a month now. Before I got my NI number I was being taxed an incredible amount of money and I assume this was emergency tax.
I’m currently working for 3 recruitment agencies and I’m pretty sure I filled out P46 forms for each one.
How do I go about claiming my tax back and what are the fees? Do I have to do one separately for each employer?

lee - Thursday, September 16th, 2010

i left my job in september and started a new job the same month, i have now been in br tax for a year can i claim any of this back and if so how would i go about it?

daniel - Saturday, September 18th, 2010

ive been on BR tax rates loads of times on different jobs ive had in the last seven years, i have also had to pay extra tax because mine and my brother NI numbers got mixed up, which means we both paid extra tax.

is there any way i can claim back as the error was on inland revenues side

Martyn - Saturday, September 18th, 2010

i have recently started my first job since start of the new tax year so i have filed out my p46 and have been put on emergancy tax code BR, how long will it take for my actual tax code to coem from and can i reclaim on the tax payed up till that date??

TaxFix - Monday, September 20th, 2010

Michelle: You can claim a tax rebate for the last 4 years. Write to ASDA and ask for a statement of earnings on company headed paper. They are required by law to provide this and this can be used as a replacement to a P60. If you need help we can send you a template letter, just Email us, template@taxfix.co.uk

TaxFix - Monday, September 20th, 2010

nad: It all depends on how much you earn during the tax year and how much you pay in tax. At the end of the tax year (April 2011) you will be given a P60, when you have this you can check to see if you are due a tax rebate by using our tax calculator.

TaxFix - Monday, September 20th, 2010

lee: You can claim back any overpayment of emergency tax by applying here.

TaxFix - Monday, September 20th, 2010

daniel: Do you have your P60s? If so you can apply for an overpayment of emergency tax here.

Jess - Monday, September 20th, 2010

Hi, I have not earned above £6475 but I am being taxed. When my tax code is changed from the emergency code to my normal one, will I 1) simply stop being taxed every week (when I recieve my wage) 2) be able to claim back my tax every week 3) have to wait until the tax year has ended to claim back all my tax?

TaxFix - Monday, September 20th, 2010

Jess: It will depend on the tax code that you are put on. At the end of the tax year, check to see how much you have paid in tax in total and how much you have earned. If you have overpaid you can claim a rebate.

Jess - Monday, September 20th, 2010

That’s going to be a bit tricky as at the end of the tax year I will be travelling. That’s why I was wondering if in some circumstances tax codes are issued to allow an individual to claim back their overpaid tax weekly?

helena - Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

the tax that i am been taken from my wages is too much. i earned about £1000 a month and tax take about £280. its kind of too much. so what do i need to do

Robert ley - Friday, September 24th, 2010

I am currently paying BR1 on my main pay (have ben for two years) and 621L ( i think!) on my naval pension. Can you tell me if this is correct?

adam - Friday, September 24th, 2010

hi,i started a new job in december last year,i was put on basic rate tax code,i gave my employer my p45 2 months ago (kept foegetting),i am now on a proper tax code,have i overpaid any tax?how and when can i claim some back?many thanks adam

TaxFix - Saturday, September 25th, 2010

Robert ley: Second sources of income are often placed on emergency tax codes (BR). You can calculate if you are overpaying tax by taking your total income for the last tax year and the total amount of tax that you paid and inputting it into our tax calculator.

TaxFix - Saturday, September 25th, 2010

adam: If you were incorrectly put on an emergency tax code (BR or basic rate) you overpay tax. At the end of the tax year you can make a claim for any overpayment of tax. If you are still working for your employer you will be given a P60 and you can then check to see if you are due a tax rebate by using our calculator.

carl cullen - Saturday, September 25th, 2010

i have been on tax code br since last year, is this an emergency tax code and what can i do about it?
thanks carl

TaxFix - Monday, September 27th, 2010

carl cullen: Yes a ‘BR’ tax code is an emergency tax code. Is this for a second job, as these usually should be emergency tax. If it is your only job you can give your employer a P45 or P46.

stephany - Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

im paying emmergency tax at moment …will i get it back?

TaxFix - Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

stephany: Often when you are on an emergency tax code you end up overpaying tax. At the end of the tax year you can check to see if you will get any tax back by using our tax calculator.

salz - Friday, October 8th, 2010

Hi, I’m about to start a new job and having to go through employment checks at the moment. I did not put down my last employer as a reference check because she had told me that I could not get a reference because I was only working there temporary so I only put employment checks up until the employer before her which was about a weeks gap. I now need to send evidence from my last job consisting either of my p45, bank statements or payslips. I have decided to send my p45 from this employer would it be a problem as they were the employer before my last job?

TaxFix - Friday, October 8th, 2010

salz: In what way do you think it may be a problem?

b - Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

hi i have started a new full time job and havnt had my first pay day yet. i am 17 and i have been told by another person who works where i am that she gets her emergency tax back every other month added onto her wages. i have a p45. i dont understand… do i HAVE to pay emergency tax? or can i just get payed what i have worked? because under 18′s dont pay tax do they? CONFUSED! PLEASE HELP!

TaxFix - Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

B: Under 18′s do pay tax. The reason you usually are put on an emergency tax code is if the job is your second job or you did not give your employer a P45, so they do not know what tax code to put you on. If you have given your P45 to your employer and it is not your second job, you shouldn’t be emergency taxed.

Satoshi - Thursday, October 14th, 2010

I filled in a tax form and handed it in work cause I was paying emergency tax.how long will it take for it to come through? And will it go in my bank or through post?? It been 2 weeks.

Rachel Stevens - Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Hi, I have recently been informed that I have been on the wrong tax code of BR which I understand is an emergency tax code. I recently rang up to correct this and was informed I would be informed by letter when it changes but I would like to know if I have to still fill out a tax refund form and if not how long do I have to wait for my rebate?

TaxFix - Friday, October 15th, 2010

Rachel Stevens: At the end of the tax year you will be given a P60, when you have this you can calculate if you are due a tax refund, and if you are you can then make a claim.

danny90 - Saturday, October 16th, 2010

hi ive just started my new job and am paying a tax code br. ive handed in a p46 to my employer but recievd a letter saying it couldent be used to get my correct tax code and ive recieved a letter from hmrc saying due to me not having a tax code there going to charge my at 20% on my wage untill april. ive since handed in my p45 so should it sort it self out now ?

TaxFix - Monday, October 18th, 2010

danny90: If you are on an emergency tax code you will likely overpay tax. At the end of the tax year you should get a P60, when you have this you can make a claim for any overpayment.

megan93 - Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

TaxFix - Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Matt - Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Hi, I have relised that I have made a mistake and given my employer the wrong national insurance number, I have since told them and have given them the correct one.
Will this alter my tax rate and is there anything else I will need to do/people to inform?

TaxFix - Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Matt: You should have given your employer your P45 from your previous employer.

Sophie - Monday, October 25th, 2010

I was working freelance in a second job while also working a first full time job. my second job was taxed on a BR code even though my earnings were very low. I am now only working this second job, and they received my P45 and corrected my tax code, but would I be able to get a tax rebate on the 20% tax that I paid last year?

TaxFix - Monday, October 25th, 2010

Sophie: If you were working two jobs, the second one should be taxed at 20%. If you know how much you earned and paid in tax you can check to see if you are due a tax rebate here.

Chloe - Friday, October 29th, 2010

Hi, I started a job when I was 17, In august 2010, and as I didn’t have a job before this I didn’t have a tax code. Therefore I’ve been paying emergency tax, I am now 18 and wondering when I will get my emergency tax back, or how do i claim it back?

Addi - Friday, October 29th, 2010

I left my job in June 2010 and moved to a different city. Between July and August 2010 I was on Jobseeker’s Allowance as I was unemployed. I then started work, and filled out a P46. Nevertheless I was over taxed on my first wage (Tax code BR). I then received a P45 from the Jobcentre which I submitted to my work. Since then I have received a Tax Code from the office, worked out on the premise that this is my second job. I called and corrected them, but they have put me on 647L Wk1Mth1 until they receive my P45s – which apparently could take until January. Meanwhile I am still overpaying tax! Surely my job can see from my P45 from the jobcentre what I should be on. . .why am I paying more and what can I do? Am so stressed, it is like working for nothing every month!

TaxFix - Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Chloe: At the end of the tax year you should be given a P60 (or a P45 if you finish working before then). When you have your P60 you can claim back any overpayment of emergency tax.

TaxFix - Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Addi: If your employer doesn’t get a P45 in time they sometimes put you on an emergency tax code. At the end of the tax year when you are given your P60 you can claim back any overpayment of tax.

Martin - Sunday, October 31st, 2010

I have had a apprenticeship since september 1st 2010 i got emergancy taxed an got told that i would get a rebate and it would be sorted without me doing anything. is this true and if so would it show up on my payslip if i did get a rebate

TaxFix - Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Martin: It may be sorted out, you can check using our calculator at the end of the tax year if you have overpaid tax.

Katy - Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

ive been working currently for about 8 months now and my manager seems to keep leading me along. Ive been paying emergancy tax now and i dont think he will help me get it back. im 16 years old and i checked my pay check and ive paied about £193.00 tax. How can i get this back? thank you.

Laura - Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

hey well when I finished working last year I did not receive my p45 therefore will I get all my emergency tax back??

TaxFix - Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Katy: At the end of the tax year you will be given a P60 (or P45 if you finish working before then). When the tax year has finished (April 6th 2011) you can make you claim for any overpayment of tax.

TaxFix - Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Laura: You need to apply for any overpayment of emergency tax. You need your P45 to do this, you can obtain a replacement by writing to your employer and asking for a statement of earnings on company headed paper.

Emma - Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Hi

I worked in the NHS for 8 years and start new job in April 09 in private sector. I have been on emergency tax (BR) since April 09 as HMR had this job as my second job. I rang them 2 weeks ago and informed them i only have 1 job and they stated they will change my tax code. Will i receive overpayed tax since April 09 and will it be paid in my next wages at the end of the month or receive a cheque?

Thanks

TaxFix - Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

Fitzy: At the end of the tax year (April 2011), when you have your P60 you can make a claim for any overpayment of emergency tax.

TaxFix - Thursday, November 18th, 2010

C: Emergency tax is at the rate of 20%

TaxFix - Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Deborah McDermott: You would need your P60/P45 of statement of earnings to make your claim.

reine - Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

Hi, I am currently working in the UK since april 2010. my tax code on my pay slip is L. I am not sure what this means, I have been taxed from the time i started work. i have currently earn’t 7895.85 pounds and have been taxed 831.40. my other friend who is working at the same place as me has not been taxed until she earn’t over three thousand pounds. My boss is not very helpful and im not sure if i have been put on emergency tax or if im intitled to tax back. Just feels like alot of tax to pay. I never filled any forms out when i started, and only have just recieved my national Insurance number.

so can you please advise me if i should be entitled to some of this tax back? and how do i go about getting this tax if so?

Thankyou

TaxFix - Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

reine: Your eligibility for a tax rebate depends on how much you have earned and how much you have paid in tax. At the end of the tax year you should be given a P60, when you have this you can input your total earnings from your P60 and the total amount you have paid in tax into our tax calculator and it will tell you if you are due anything back.

Both sons previous employers and new employer have had wrong NI number for the past 2 years. When he started with new employer march 10 he did not have a p45 so filled out a p46 ( with wrong number) has been paid ok up until this month when he was put on BR rate, and paid over half his wages in tax, have rung up tax office, and they thought this employer was his 2nd job, and that was also still working for previous employers too. Now that I have informed tax office, will he have his emergency tax paid in his next wage? and whose fault that this wasnt spotted sooner?

TaxFix - Sunday, November 28th, 2010

Dominique R: Often if you are on an emergency tax rate, you will overpay tax. If you earn below £6,475 during the tax year you can claim back all your tax. When you finish working you should be given a P45. Then at the end of the tax year (April 2011) you will be able to make a claim.

stephen: If you do not have your P45 or P60, you can write to your employer that you were working for at the time and ask for a statement of earnings on company headed paper which will act as a replacement for a P60/P45.

Jo - Monday, December 13th, 2010

I left my longest last job to go to another which i was only there for just over a week due to personal circumstances, I got sent my P45 from them but my tax code is now BR.
Does this mean when i start my new job in a few weeks that i will be emergency taxed until April when the tax year ends?

TaxFix - Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

khrystina: Possibly, but you often have to apply for it as they do not always come automatically. At the end of the tax year you can make a claim.

TaxFix - Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Jo: BR is an emergency tax code, usually an employer puts you on this code if they do not have your P45. You can give your employer a P46 if you do not have your P45 and this should correct your tax code.

p.woodcock - Sunday, December 19th, 2010

Hi,my wife is here in uk now on a 2 year settlement visa,she has been working full time since march 2009,has had same tax code 647L,is this standard or an emergency code & will she be entitled to a refund at the end of tax year april 2011??,

GazM - Monday, December 20th, 2010

My salary is paid monthly on the last working day (DEC 31st). But this year we have a year end bonus that will be paid out seperately (DEC 22ND). How will this be treated in terms of Tax? I am very confused as to how this will be worked out and I am worried that I will pay way over the odds in Tax and have to wait until April to reclaim it!

TaxFix - Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

p.woodcock: 647L is the standard tax code for the current year. She may be able to claim a tax rebate, it depends how much she earns and how much she’s pays in tax. You can use our tax calculator to get an estimate of any rebate due.

hollie  - Monday, December 27th, 2010

TaxFix - Thursday, December 30th, 2010

hollie: Your company will send it to your tax office, who will issue your company with a new tax code to give you. So it really depends on how much it takes your company and your tax office to reconcile all this information.

TaxFix - Thursday, December 30th, 2010

sophie: You can make a claim at the end of the tax year in April 2011 when you receive your P60.

Brendan - Friday, January 21st, 2011

i was given a temporary NI number when i first started work in the uk 5 years ago. i didnt know i needed to apply for a permanent number until Nov last year when my HR deparment brought it to my attention. i now have a permanent number but was wondering if this means i had been paying too much tax or NI contributions for all that time, and if i am elligble for a refund?

TaxFix - Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

Brendan: You can check using your P60 and our tax calculator.

TaxFix - Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

Nancy Pankhurst: Your second job usually should be on a ‘BR’ tax code. You can check to see if you are due a tax rebate by summing your total income for the year and your tax from both jobs and inputting these amounts into our tax rebate calculator.

i have been on emergency tax for all most ayear how do i go about getting the right tax code? and will i get the emergency taxs back?

TaxFix - Thursday, January 27th, 2011

dominic: Did you give your employer a P45, if not you should do this. At the end of the tax year you can make a claim for any overpayment of tax.

TaxFix - Friday, January 28th, 2011

shaun: You can make a claim at the end of the tax year when you receive your P60.

Louise - Sunday, January 30th, 2011

I started my new job in October 2010 and gave in my P45 (I only have one job). I notice that when I was paid I was on BR tax code. I thought this would sort it self out, but I didn’t. So on the 19th December 10 I contacted the HMRC and they said it’s because the BR code was on my P45 so my current employer just carried on using this code.
Anyway HMRC changed my code over the phone and sent me a letter telling my my tax code had been changed to 647L (the correct code) and said that I should get a refund in my next wages. Well i’ve been paid 28th Jan and my tax code is still BR and no refund.
How long would this change of code normally take for payroll to be informed by HMRC? I know we have had the Christmas holidays could this cause the delay?

Alex  - Monday, January 31st, 2011

If my brother only worked in England 2 months last year Jul-Aug on emergency tax. Can he claim his money back?

TaxFix - Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Alex: If he earned below the tax free allowance, then there is a good chance he will be able to claim all his tax back.

I’m working between 35 and 40 hours a week and am getting taxed at least £100 a week. Does this sound wrong to you?

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Tom: It really depends on how much you earn.

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

emma: You can make a claim for any tax refund at the end of the tax year after you have been given your P60.

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Louise Baikie: It depends on how much you have earned during the entire tax year. At the end of the tax year (April 5th) you should get a P60, when you have this you can check to see if you are due a tax refund by using our tax calculator.

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Maxine: Did you give your employer a P45 when you started? If not, you could give them a P46, or contact your local tax office and they could put you on the right tax code.

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

Iliya: You can claim back as far as 2005-06

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

rachel: You can make a claim for a tax rebate when you receive your P60 in April or May. The claim will be based on your total income including any JSA and the amount of tax that you paid. You don’t normally pay tax on JSA.

Is this right? Will i be double taxed next month?

Jenny - Friday, February 25th, 2011

I have been currently working for my employer for just over a year now and have been on an emergency tax code the whole time. Will I be able to claim any of my taxed money back and how far will I be able to claim back to?

I understand my employer has to receive a P60 to be able to put me on a tax code

Sam - Sunday, February 27th, 2011

My tax code has been changed from BR to 647L on my wage slip. The Tax Office said I would receive a refund in this month’s wages but I haven’t. How long does the rebate take once the tax code has been changed? Thanks.

Natasha - Friday, March 11th, 2011

Hi,
I was emergency taxed on code BR for 10 months, and received it all back in my final wage slip from my previous employer. Now my previous employer is asking for it back, surely that is not right?!!

Chirelle Peters - Friday, March 11th, 2011

Hi,
I’ve recently changed my tax code because I was paying emergency tax. The lady on the phone said I she changed my code and I will be refunded my next pay day. My pay day arrived and it didn’t come. Some people said it takes two pay days so I waited and it didnt come again. I got a letter in the mail (with my new tax code) and I called the tax people and they said they sent a letter to Hollister a month with my new tax code but when I asked Hollister they said its down to the tax people, not them. I’m leaving the country in two weeks and I’m really counting on my refund, why haven’t I gotten my refund yet? This is rediculous! Thanks.

k - Sunday, March 13th, 2011

i had call tax office but they never pick up phone what should i do i need to change my br tax code as soon as possible

Chirelle - Sunday, March 13th, 2011

I’ve been on Emergency Tax for a while and in the beginning on Feburary I changed the code and the woman on the phone said I should get the tax back in my next paycheck, well it’s been five weeks and it still hasn’t come through! What’s going on? I’m leaving the country in two weeks and I don’t know what to do. I got a letter in the mail dated for the 13th of Feburary and it said my tax code had been changed, why haven’t I gotten my refund yet? And I’m no where near over the allowance thing.

Kelly - Monday, March 14th, 2011

Hi
I have started my 1st year as self employed and my tax return said i owe minus £amount on my return – do HMRC then pay this back to me? Thanks

TaxFix - Monday, March 14th, 2011

Chirelle: When you stop working you will be given a P45. When you have your P45 you can claim back all of your overpayment of tax and any refund due because you are stopping working and leaving the UK.

TaxFix - Monday, March 14th, 2011

Chirelle Peters: When you leave the UK you can claim a tax refund. When you make this claim, we can apply for any overpayment of emergency tax at the same time. When you stop working you will be given a P45, when you have this you can make your claim with us here.

terry - Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Istarted a new job six months ago and was (taxed for three months how do I go about claiming this money back as my employer said it would be paid in december and I am still waiting in march

TaxFix - Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

terry: In April or May you should receive a P60. When you have your P60 you can check using our tax rebate calculator to see if you are due a refund.

caroline - Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

i was working part time from april 2010 to feb 2011 and started full time work i have not got my p45 back yet or my p60, how long do you have to wait, do you keep on at your old employers or just wait,

Louise - Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Hi, I started a new job 3 weeks go and I am paid week in hand. I’ve been emergency taxed each time I’ve been paid now so I filled out a P46 at work, how long will it take for me to get the money I have been emergency taxed back? Also, I am a student so will this affect anything when it comes to tax, I heard I will not have to pay tax at all because of this?

TaxFix - Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

caroline: You wouldn’t get a P45 if you were changed from full to part time with the same employer. In April or May you should be be given a P60 by your employer.

TaxFix - Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Louise: It doesn’t make a difference if you are a student. If you do not get your emergency tax back directly then at the end of the tax year (April 5th) you can make a claim as soon as you have your P60.

Hannah - Thursday, March 17th, 2011

I have only been temping for 5 months, can I still claim back my money and if so how do I do that?

Lou - Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Hi, My tax code has changed from BR to 647L M1, what does this mean?
I contacted HMRC in Jan so they could change my BR tax code as this was incorrect to 647L (I only have one job).
Thanks, Lou.

Johno - Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

I currently have 2 jobs with the same employer – one for 37.5 hours a week and the 2nd for 4 hours a week.

I started the 4 hour job before the full time job.

Both jobs are with the same company and are linked. The first is a bookings coordinator, the second is a Leisure Assistant, opening and closing venues as required from what comes from the main job.

I have been recently told that as I have 2 jobs and they must be on different tax codes, yet currently I get one payslip for the 2 jobs.

Am I right in thinking that as the jobs are for the same company, I have one employer, and thus should pay tax on the 647L tax code? I have already been to my local tax office and explained this and they were saying both jobs should be on the one code and sent a letter to my employer’s HR dept.

If so, where can I direct my HR people to sort out my pay in order that I don’t lose out further as this has still not been resolved after 3 months?

Joe - Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Hi, as of January 2011 I’ve gone self employed as an Electrician and have invoiced my contractor at 30% as i’m waiting for my UTR number.
How do I claim back my Emergency Tax once I receive my UTR number?
Thanks

John - Friday, March 25th, 2011

I have 2 jobs with the same company, which are linked. I have been on BR tax since October. I went to the local tax office to get this sorted, as they suggested that as the jobs are for the same company, I would be on the one tax code – 647L.

I spoke to someone in HR and they say that the jobs are seperate jobs that I should have 2 tax codes.

Both wages are put through the one payslip at the moment.

Is there any information I can send to my HR people in order to get the matter resolved?

Kristy - Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Hi there, a few years ago I took on two jobs – one full time and one part-time. My f/t job changed but I still kept on two jobs and I was consistently on a BR tax code for both jobs for quite a long time. A friend has mentioned I may be entitled to a tax rebate. If so is there a time limit to reclaim and can you advise what I would need to do?

Secondly I am now in one f/t job but I earn a bonus which I get mid month but I am paying 31% tax on this. My basic is just over 15,500 a year and I get between £250-650 a month in bonus but it seems like quite a high tax rate?

Thanks in advance

private - Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Hi, I have rang the tax office today and informed them on the tax code im on (BR) they have told me that this is an emergency tax code. They have updated all my details and took my payroll number so they can inform my employer of my new tax code (747L) and they said i would get any tax i have overpaid back in my wages. Do you know if they inform my employer straight away of my new tax code and roughly how long after the tax code if activated it will take for any refund owed to me to show in my wages?

Chris - Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Hi, I started my job in September and have been on the tax code 647L since then. I am a student and have been paying tax every month but not earning the taxable amount. I rang the tax office to claim it back and change my tax code but they said they had no record of me working and couldn’t sort anything until my boss had sent a p46 in. He has sent the form recently but now I’m not sure what to do about claiming my tax back; will it be calculated by the tax office and added back to my wage or is it up to me to sort once the p46 has been processed?

Gary - Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

how do i claim tax back

Vicki - Sunday, May 8th, 2011

hi I need a little advice. My dad is working on a self employed dasis for a company and has to invoice the company weekly. The company are now saying that they are going to start taking 20% of earnings for tax weekly and 30% for the first few weeks for emergency tax.

I thought if you were self employed and invoicing the company you sorted your own tax. If the company are now going to start taking the tax does that still make him self employed and should they now starting giving him some sort of wage slip as proof they are paying the tax?

Any advice would be great.. Thanx

Hi,
I just moved here from Canada and I have been put on the emergency tax code BR. I understand how to get out of it and such but is there anyway to claim the money before April or must I wait almost an entire year to do so? Reason I am asking is I won’t be in the country anymore by that time I will be back in Canada.

Thanks, Nick

On my husband’s P60 it shows the amount of monies paid during that financial year. That being the case the sum total of payments should be identical to the amount shown on P60. As it shows no tax has been deducted surely there should be now difference between the 2 figures

Due to a tax under payment, I now have negative tax code K117. Main income was an occupational pension. Now have started agency work and continue paying tax on negative code. As I will now be paying the tax back quicker will my tax code be adjusted when the tax is paid off or will I have to wait until next tax year.

Damien - Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Hi,

I recently moved to London from Ireland to start work and about a month ago before I moved, my employer gave me a relocation allowance to help with the moving costs.

The payment was taxed at 42% which I wasn’t expecting since I wasn’t living in the UK when I got it and I had never worked in the UK before so wouldn’t have been registered for tax.

My question is, once I begin work here can I claim any of this back?

Ryan - Friday, July 15th, 2011

I am self-employed as a handyman and have part-time help, no more than two days a week, from a young lad who I pay £6 per hour. This amount puts him under both the NI and income tax thresholds. I keep a record of his payments which he signs for and pay him holiday money but do I need to inform the tax man that he is working for me, even though he doesn’t have to pay tax nor NI?

Hello,

I just came to London and was taxed with this emergency tax, my total income to April was £3642.26 and tax was £728.40. When I checked on a rebate tax website, they informed that the whole tax deducted should be paid back, is this true? If I want to do it with one of these companies, how much will they charge me to do this rebate tax claim?
Thanks very much in advance

Hi there,
I have recently moved to London from Australia and started a full time job at a bar. At first I did not have my NI number and have been getting taxed about 30% per week, 5 weeks ago I received my NI number, and am still getting taxed extra due to that. I go back home in two weeks, how do I go about claiming my tax back, and should my employer put all my emergency tax back straight away, then I claim the rest? Or do I have to claim it all back once I get back home?

martin - Monday, October 24th, 2011

i have been working two jobs since April this year however what was classed as my main job is now my second job so i have changed over my tax codes accordingly.

What is now my main job i have been on the BR tax code before and i have had a tax rebate through my wage. However my other employer needs to now put my other job where i only work one day a week on the BR rate. To date this year i have earned approx £6500.

Will i have unpaid tax on this other job even though i’ve been paying tax all year. Its very nice to get a rebate but i think that i’m just going to owe that money if not more to my other employer.

The tax office reccommended i flip my tax codes like this but i think i’ve made the wrong decision.

Will i have to pay BR on my other job from now or since april the 1st this year?

any help or advise would be great

Thank you

Martin

My tax code is 0T-WK1 this doesn’t seem right either. I worked for Morrisons for just over a year, then i left and recieved two payments of 100.00 from job centre and I then started working at Barnsdale Lodge, I don’t know if this makes a difference. I’m on a low income and I really don’t think I should be paying this much tax. Please can you help me sort this out

Anon - Saturday, November 26th, 2011

Hi I have recently started a part time job whilst looking for another. This part time job pays around £24 a week and therefore is not enough to be taxed. I think I have been emergency taxed though due to it being my first job and not having a tax code and I understand that I cannot claim this back until the end of the tax year and when I receive my p60. My employer has given me a p46 form to fill in and I have been informed that once this has been sent I will receive a tax code. What I would like to know is that once I have a tax code that shows I should not be taxed will I stop being emergency taxed each month or will this continue and if so for how long?

Mary - Monday, November 28th, 2011

Please can you help I received a tax calculation form from HMRC on 31 March 2011 stating that I had underpaid £1618.30 got the tax year 2007-2008. After speaking to HMRC customer Service I was advised that this was due to the fact that my employer had not deducted tax from my state pension which I started claiming on 9th July 2007, although I was at that time still employed, although I am now retired.

I queried this with my ex employer’s payroll dept and they said that they had no record of HMRC advising them of a new tax code.

I, therefore, wrote to HMRC asking why this had happened as I telephoned the tax office to advise them that I would be claiming my pension and also completed a pension enquiry form on 4 August 2007 stating that I started claiming my pension on 9 July 2007. I received a letter stating that they did deal with this within the ESC A19 time limits. Therefore, they are now claiming the underpayment from my NHS pension over two years.

I have written again to argue this and received a letter on15 August 2011 to say that HMRC would contact my employer to ask why I had not paid enough tax and that they would write to me with a full explanation. To date I have not received anything from them.

However, I have now received an invoice from my ex -employer for £3705.32 and they tell me that this is in lieu of underpaid tax as they have received a demand from HMRC for them to pay this amount.

I have looked through all my P60s and payslips and, although I can now see that there is an underpayment for 2007-2008 for £1618, I cannot see anything to show that I owe any additional money, so I cannot see how this is calculated.

It looks to me as if HMRC are demanding the money from my employer as they are blaming them for not paying my tax correctly, who in turn are trying to pass the buck to me. Are they able to do that please?

Hi i work seasonal where i am on unpaid leave in the winter for around 6 months and so do not recieve a p45. this means i am always emergancy taxed on any job i do in those months, how can i get my tax code changed as i am at that time only having one job?
thanks

Hi, I was paid a £2500 bonus last year (Dec 2010) and was taxed a lot on that months payslip. I was wondering when i receive some of that tax back – as I clearly dont earn that ammount each month? Do I need to submit my P60 or anything or will I receive a rebate in April 2012? Thanks

Hi, I’m owed about £600 in tax refunds, but now i’m unemployed, so does that mean if i go on job seekers allowance I’ll lose my tax tax refund?

i started a new job 10 weeks ago, i only got my p45 from my previous employer last week, i handed this in to my new job. How long does it take for my emergency tax to stop and for me to receive my emergency tax refund in my wages?

Hi im 18,
i was working two chirsmas temp jobs and was earning around 250 every two weeks, at first i was being basic taxed on both jobs. I then filled out the P45 and stopped getting taxed on my main job but was still being taxed under the basic code on my second. Is this correct? i have been hearing al different things from differnt people like i shouldnt be taxed im not earning enough and you dont get taxed on christmas temp jobs.

thank you

Hi I’ve been living as a lone parent for 3yrs and have recently asked my daughters dad to move in who works. We qualify for tax credits but get no help with the rent or council tax. Will my partners tax code change from single persons allowance to take into account that he now has a family to support?

Hi,
i started my new job in may 2011. im on 25k a year, i was told not to bother bringing in my p45 because it would be quicker to fill in a p46. Ive been on tax code BR/NC since then which i believe is emergency tax. Every penny counts at the moment and paying alot of tax is making life difficult. can i expect a refund or will i need to wait till april. ive been told i will get my refund through wages in previous jobs but never actually saw this happen
