How to Claim My Tax Back in 2010
At the end of the tax year (April 5th) employees around the country should receive their P60’s. What is a P60? When will I get my P60? What should I do with my P60? What about tax rebates for previous years? How do I claim my tax back before the end of the Tax Year? Invariably tax offices will be very busy at the end of the tax year and as the new tax year starts. We recommend you submit your tax refund as soon as you get your P60 and this will avoid any potential delay in receiving your tax refund cheque.

I have been going through my P60’s and have noticed that my NI No. for 2005/06 End of Year Certificate is incorrect what do you suggest that I do?
TaxFix - Monday, May 17th, 2010
Hi,
If your P60 is wrong you can ask your employer to correct it. They are required to keep accurate records by law.

TaxFix - Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Hi Anonymous,
If you were working for your employer on the 5th April you should get a P60. If you were not you should have been given a P45.

hi i got p60 its showing my income is 9950 and tax has been deducted 682 am i getting tax back
TaxFix - Sunday, May 23rd, 2010
Anonymous: No, based on your income of £9,950 and tax of 682 you would not be due a tax refund.

Hi, I paid £678.40 in tax but only earned 6,870. This was for the tax year 5/04/10.
I would like to know if I am entitled to any tax back even if I started claiming benfits on 12/05/10.
Many Thanks,
TaxFix - Monday, May 24th, 2010
Anonymous: If your income was £6,870 and the amount of tax that you paid was £678, then you would be due a tax refund of £599. If you did not include your benefits within your income, then your refund may be slightly less.

Hi there i just received my P60.In 2008 i paid £4523 tax in 2009 my p60 is showing in this employment box i paid £18596.96. I am still working for this firm but thinking to leave this company how can i claim my tax and how much i can claim back. I checked in calculator it is showing £15000.?? i can claim is that right please help me out.
Thanks in advance
TaxFix - Monday, May 24th, 2010
Nas: Did you pay £18,596 in tax? Or is this how much you earned? The amount of your tax refund depends on how much you earn and how much you paid in tax. You can only claim for previous tax years unless you are leaving the UK and then you can claim for the current tax year. When you get your P60 you can check to see how much you can claim back, using our tax rebate calculator.

Hi! I have received my P60 but it only shows the N.I. contributions in my current employment which I have been since February. What about my previous job contributions? How can I calculate my tax rebate? My P60 states that I was paid 2.697,92 and that I deducted 431,40. Cna you please advise. Many thanks.
TaxFix - Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
Miggy: Your previous job should have given you a P45. If you have your P45 you can total the amount that you earned between April 6th 2009 and April 5th 2010, or you could use your wage slip. Then total all the tax that you paid also and input these amounts into our tax calculator. This will show you much of a refund you are due.

TaxFix - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
Anonymous: If you stopped working in June 2009 you should have been given a P45. You only get a P60 if you are working on the 5th April. If you were not given a P45, you can get a replacement by writing to your previous employer and asking for a ’statement of earnings’.

TaxFix - Thursday, May 27th, 2010
Anonymous: Yes you can claim all 592.60 pounds back as you earned below the tax free allowance. You can claim your tax back here.
TaxFix - Thursday, May 27th, 2010
Ben: Did your company give you a refund directly in your pay?
TaxFix - Thursday, May 27th, 2010
Tua: How much did you earn between April 6th 2009 and April 5th 2010? Take this amount and the amount you paid in tax (it may be on your P60) and put the two amounts into our tax rebate calculator and it will tell you if you are due a tax rebate.

I have submitted my self assesment online for last year, and am due a refund of £1440, but on the “repayments/credits received” section on the hmrc website it says it is not due until 31 Jan 2011. I have submitted a request for repayment, but will I really have to wait until next January to get my money back? Seems crazy to me!
TaxFix - Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
Ashley: Yes as you earned below the tax free allowance you can claim back all of your tax of £76.40. You will not get back the tax automatically, you need to make a claim with the Inland Revenue. Our minimum fees will be more then your refund so it’s best that you do it yourself. Contact your local tax office, and keep safe any P60 or P45 that you have.

TaxFix - Thursday, June 10th, 2010
Anonymous: If you were working for an employer on the last day of the tax year (April 5th), they should have provided you with a P60 before the 1st June. If they did not you can always write to them requesting a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. This can be used as a replacement for a P60.
Cathal - Friday, June 11th, 2010
Hello, I received my p60 in April. I had not worked a full year and so am entitled to a tax refund. I discussed this with an advisor through the HMRC call centre and they confirmed my entitlement.
I asked if I had to do anything, the advisor said explained I would not have to. He said that when I received my P60, my employer would also send a form to HMRC(a p11 i think?). He said that this would be processed automatically and I can expect the refund at the start of June.
I am yet to receive the refund. I heard that there had been some problems with the HMRC system.
I was wondering if you could confirm that the information I received from the customer advisor is correct.
Also, are you aware of any problems with the system which have been causing similar delays?
I tried contacting HMRC directly but was on hold for over 15 minutes and had to hang up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cathal

Hi there,
Last year I earned around 4000 and paid a few hundred in tax, I am a student.
I have lost my p60, how do I claim back the tax I paid?
Also, I just started a new job and have been put on Basic Rate band, how do I get this changed?
TaxFix - Saturday, June 12th, 2010
Fiona: If you only earned £4,000 you can claim back all of your tax that you paid. You can write to your employer and ask for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. We can get a replacement for you if you like, we offer this with our tax rebate service. You can give your employer your P45 to get off a BR tax code.
TaxFix - Monday, June 14th, 2010
Cathal: The Inland Revenue states that the onus is on the tax payer to claim any refund that they are entitled to and each year over £300 goes unclaimed. Your refund may be made automatically, but we do not suggest that you rely on this. There are often delays around the end of the tax year when back logs are increased with local tax offices. I hope this helps.

TaxFix - Thursday, June 17th, 2010
fatema: Is your P60 for the job that you worked 11 months for? You can write to any other employers and request a ’statement of earnings’. This can be used as a replacement for a P60.

TaxFix - Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
jason: Do you remember how much you were earning per year? If it was less than £6,475 you can claim back all tax that you paid within the year. If it was more you still may be due a tax refund. If you are missing only one P45 we can get a replacement for you, as part of our tax refund service. If you can apply here, and then include any P60’s that you have, we can process your claim for you and obtain your tax refund.

Hi,
In 2008-2009 I have worked for 2 employers. Full time for the first one and as a casual for the second one.
On my P60 it says in “Figures shown here should be used for your Tax Return” that in this employment was 9407.01 and tax deducted 1378.00, on the statement of earnings from the onther company where my tax code was “BR” it says : gross pay &gross taxable pay 8080.17, tax paid 1011.80, employees NI paid 533.60, employers BI paid 620.92
I wanted to use your calculator but in this case I m not sure how and which figures I shoud add to get it right. Can you please advise? And am I eligible to refund at all?
Thank you,
A

Hi,
I received my P60 with my tax code 647L. It states that in previous employment I had paid 7016.75, tax deducted 863.40.
Then I have amounts for “in this employment” and “total for year”. If I would like to check if I am eligible to refund which amounts should I use to get it right?

Hi
I was employed from tax year April 2009 until Aug 2009, after that I was then unemployed and Not claiming any benefits, (I lived off my savings) In that employment I earned £5,706.44 and I paid £601 tax. I then worked as a casual employee from March 15th 2010 up until June 11th 2010 earning £2293 and paying tax of £134. Am I entitled to tax back. I must include that I called the inland revenue on their help line, they were quite offhand, asked what my nat insurance no: was and that they would look in to it as they had ‘all my tax history in front of them’ and if I didn’t hear from them within a month, to contact them again. I’ts now nearly a month and I’ve heard nothing.
holly - Monday, July 12th, 2010
Hello
I worked as a casual worker from 14th March up until June. I received a p60 that didn’t include my previous earnings with the Council, it just said previous earnings 0.00, when I queried this the company I was then working for said, you’ll have to take it up with the Inland Revenue. I also didn’t get any tax back from my previous employment where I’d earned £5,700 and paid £671 tax. I was imformed by knowledgeable friends, that the Company I did the casual work with should have paid me the tax back in the new tax year but they didn’t, most likely because either the Accountant they have got is useless or the girl in the office didn’t give my p45 in until too late. Basically they made an error on my p60, will this effect my 2009 -2010 refund claim
TaxFix - Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
Holly: If you have all your tax documents including P45 from your previous job, and the P60 from the current job it shouldn’t make a difference as all the information will be with your claim.
TaxFix - Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
Michelle: If you only earned £5,706 in the tax year you will be able to claim back all the tax that you paid of £601 because you earned below the tax free allowance. I would definitely double check, if you would like help claiming your tax refund we offer a service here.
