I am on 647l tax code. I have been taxed in certain weeks when i have worked an unusually high number of hours. Will this be repaid to me automatically, or do I have to claim the money back at the end of the tax year? (provided I have earned less than £6475)

Ian: You can claim back any overpayment of tax at the end of the tax year when you are given your P60.

I was a student and started paid employment on 1st July … I have been taxed at code 647L. Should I be paying less tax as I did not work for the first three months of this tax year, nor at any point in the previous tax year?

TaxFix - Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Anonymous: At the end of the tax year (April 2011) you should receive a P60 or a P45 when you stop working. When you have this you can see if you are due a tax refund by using our tax refund calculator. The amount of your refund depends on how much you earn in the year and how much you pay in tax.

I was working for an english company from 2003 to 2006 and I unfortunately lost my p 45. I got with me only one pay slip of that employment.
How will I be able now to recover a copy of it and consequently claim these three working years. Many thanks

Anonymous: If you have lost your P45, you can write to your previous employer and ask for a statement of earnings on company headed paper. This can be used as a replacement for a P45.

I have been working for a company for 10 weeks. My first 6 weeks i was on BR Emergency tax code then changed to 647L W1. I mistakenly ticked box 2 instead of box 1 on p46. How do i change this and receive emergency tax back?

TaxFix - Friday, October 29th, 2010

Paul Mccafferty: At the end of the tax year in April 2011 you should be given a P60, then you will be able to claim your emergency tax back. When you have your P60 you can use our service if you like to claim your tax back.

anon - Monday, November 22nd, 2010

i am currently working two jobs and i only started my second job in sept 2010. at this time my tax code for my first job was reduced from 647L to 261L, with my second job having a tax code of 386L. i have yet to exceed the amount im allowed to earn for the year in either job but i was recently taxed a considerable amount on my first job. its also unlikely that earn any more than 6000 between the two jobs over the year…should i even be taxed and if i am to pay tax, how much should this be?

TaxFix - Monday, November 22nd, 2010

anon: If you earn below £6,475 during the tax year (April 6th until April 5th of the following year) you should pay no tax and will be able to claim back any that you have paid. You can make a claim at the end of the tax year (April 6th 2011)

a.mitch - Thursday, November 25th, 2010

I have been working since august, and it is only part time and am bringing home approx £200 a month.
I have been given the tax code 647l.
I have been paying tax amounts of £90.60 , £37.00
and £53.80.
Is this correct or am i on emergency tax.
Could i claim any of this back ?

TaxFix - Friday, November 26th, 2010

a.mitch: If you earn less than £6,475 a year then you can claim back all of your tax at the end of the tax year.

ELLIOT - Friday, December 17th, 2010

HI,

this tax year I was self employed, but on the 8th november I began employment with a company. I forgot to fill out the p45, so on my first payslip my tax code was BR. Ive gone through the right procedure to get it changed, and now my tax code is 647L.
I earn 18,000 a year.
£1500 a month before deductions.
On tax code BR my take home after tax and NI is
£1087 on my new tax code 647L my take home is still £1087…. if there is a amount to be payed back to me when do I recieve it?? thanks

rajesh patel - Friday, December 17th, 2010

my tax code is 647L x

i know ni count 11% beetween 110 and 844 £ but i dont know how match count pay tax ?

please tell me how match count

TaxFix - Saturday, December 18th, 2010

ELLIOT: More than likely. Normally if you are on an emergency tax code you will overpay tax and can claim a tax refund. At the end of the tax year when you have your P60 you can make your claim.

Joanne Hedges - Saturday, January 15th, 2011

The tax code shown on my payslip is 1-0B – I have only been working for this employer since 7/4/10 – (previously a housewife at home with no income). I am earning minimum wage and work only 92 hours a month. I seem to be paying a huge amount of tax please can you advise me;I would be most grateful for your help.

Charlie - Monday, January 31st, 2011

i started my first payed job two years ago in june, i am on tax code 647l and have been taxed every week since i started, does this mean i have some money i can claim back?

TaxFix - Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Charlie: Tax code 647L is the normal tax code for the current year.

HT - Monday, February 7th, 2011

I received a letter from HMRC informing me to use the tax code BR. A name of a different co. was mentioned on the letter. Probably my employer had added my name on the list of employees on their second co? for what reasons is not immediately clear. Code means I have 2 jobs but actually I have only one job. will this mean i will be taxed more than I should be?

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

HT: Often if you are on a BR tax code you can overpay tax. At the end of the tax year in April, you should be given a P60 from your employer, when you have this you can make a claim for any overpayment of tax.

hi, I would like to better understand tax calculations.
I’am working since 9th MAR 2010, I’am employed, I earn 17000 annualy my tax code is 647L.

I used Rebate tax calculator:

Income for Year: £ 17.00.00
Tax Deducted: £ 6.470.00
Tax Rebate Due: £ 4,365.00

so it means I can claim at this tax year end, to return £ 4,365.00 or I done something wrong ?

Thank you for your response and help.

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Everybody have 747 now….
Thanks

NickP - Sunday, August 21st, 2011

Thanks for your question. Are you sure that 647 is your tax code for the 2011/12 tax year? It may have been your code for the 2010/11 tax year and may have changed (check your most recent PAYE Coding Notice for details).

If you’re not sure that your tax code is correct you should contact your Tax Office.

suiz - Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

i am a part time student in the UK. My total pay for the year 2010-2011 was 2090.56 and in my P60 form it is written that i have 0.00 tax deducted. What does this mean and my final tax code is 647L. Does this mean that i have not been paying tax? But my other colleagues have been paying tax and they have already refunded it.

Tax Fix - Thursday, August 25th, 2011

@suiz

In the tax year 2010/11 your Personal Allowance (the amount you can earn before you start paying tax) would have been £6,475. This is why your tax code is 647L.

If you have £0 tax deducted then that is correct as you only earned £2,090.56 (well under your Personal Allowance). You are right not to have paid any tax.

i have been receiving tax credits for my daughter for a good few years but on talking to other members of staff at work i seem to be paying more tax than them even though i am a single parent with a child in full time education. I know i receive tax credits but looking at the amount of tax i pay on a weekly basis ( around 30 pounds ) i don’t seem to be much better off. I would assume my tax code should be lower. I don’t claim any other benefits .
