Getting your tax back

[Bugz]

Unfortunately, I was taxed £80 during my time at my previous employment.

I had one p60 back from the financial year of 06-07 and that was £30 of the taxed (which I assume I got back?) which now means i'm still owed £50 from the tax year 07-08.

How would I go about getting this back? Or is it done automatically?

I shouldn't have been taxed as I was earning way under the min. amount to be taxed but my old company sucked.

Help appreciated.

Get the pay slip which shows the amount you were taxed (will probably need that).

Fuck knows who you'd call tho...sorry dude

You have to write to the Inland revenue, the reason you were taxed is more than likely because they have no previous information about your earings so stuck you on an emergency code.

ring your tax office. they can help you.

How you reclaim this year's tax will depend on your circumstances.
If you're employed

Tell your employer's tax office why you think you've paid too much tax through PAYE. They may already have everything they need to check your claim. If not, they'll tell you what documents to send. You may get a new tax code, so any refund will be included with your wages.
Jobseeker's Allowance or taxable Incapacity Benefit

If you're claiming Jobseeker's Allowance or taxable Incapacity Benefit:

* take Part 2 and Part 3 of your P45 to your local Jobcentre Plus
* keep Part 1A as a record of your income

If you claim Jobseeker's Allowance, your Jobcentre Plus will pay the refund after 5 April or when you stop claiming (whichever's earlier). If you get Incapacity Benefit, you'll get any refund from your tax office after 5 April.
If you're unemployed but not claiming Jobseeker's Allowance or taxable Incapacity Benefit

If you're back at work within four weeks:

* give Part 2 and Part 3 of your P45 to your new employer
* keep Part 1A as a record of your income

Any refund due will be included with your wages.
If you've been unemployed for four weeks, or you've retired:

* complete the relevant parts of form P50 'Claim for income tax repayment'
* send it to your Tax Office with Part 2 and Part 3 of your P45
* keep Part 1A as a record of your income

The tax office will send any refund due to you in the post, together with a new P45 if necessary.

By the looks of it.

I haven't cashed in the p60 given for 06-07 as it says on it 'if u want to make a tax return' and I know I haven't.

Where would my p60 for 07-08 be then? Do I get it this month as it's the end of the financial year for 07-08?

I stopped working at my previous employment in September 07 but I only have the one p60 for 06-07.

I once got a tax rebate of £575, it just come all of a sudden in a paycheck.

You should also go and get a P45 from your previous employer I think, though tax is not really my area. I thought a P60 was what you filled out when you started a new job if you have not had a P45?

Stupid numbers and letters, no wonder they wast so much money on red tape each year

No Laddey, that's just what they told you.

*uses magic to pull out Laddeys memory of the event*

Weird fat guy (will call him WFG): Hi there sir
Laddey: who me?
WFG: Yes you. Did you know you're owed a tax rebate?
Laddey: Seriously? cool, how much...and what do I have to do?
WFG: £575, but you gotta drop your pants and let me feel inside your anus...
Laddey: ...erm
WFG: Hey come on, it's £575
Laddey: oh alright, but be careful ok?
WFG: *grins* of course
Laddey: ooh this feels kinda nice
WFG: Wanna see a trick?
Laddey: Yeah sure!
WFG: Look, no hands!
Laddey: I think I just pee'd out my ass...

im getting 6k SEK back from taxes at midsummer

thats like 570-600£ i think

I got a £2,000 tax rebate the other week.

I just phoned up my old employers, found out what tax area their head office was in, then wrote a letter to them asking for my overpaid tax back.

I stated in the letter i had no documentation, as they don't need it, it just helps them, but they don't do it any quicker (i know as i had a £800 rebate a few years back when i did have p60's etc).

 

[Golena]

It's £50..

By the time you've gone through the required hoop jumping that's required you could of spent that time earning £100.

 

[Amildin]

Sorted mine in jan, still waiting for my pay cheque

£50 really aint worth the effort tbh

 

[Bugz]

Well £50 for me is a couple of restaurants for me and the missus.

I was kind of hoping it'd be a 5minute, i fill out the form job and then I wait? :d

 

[Iceforge]

Wow, all that sounds so complicated...

I simply got told by the Tax (name of the Tax institute here in Denmark, pretty appropriate ) that they owed me 200 quid (2000 DKK) and they would be put into my account on specified date

 

[Bugz]

The missus had her company sort it all out for her and she had to do minimal work but as I'm no longer with my company - I can't really do that.

She's a lucky bitch tbh - she should have about £500 in tax rebates coming in next week - on top of her normal monthly wage.

Rich!

As a student on placement, and having been taxed heavily due to sporadic bonuses i'm looking forward to this rebate :>
