Bit of a long shot I know but I was wondering if anyone had any advice about tax or has had the same problem as me. Basically I only work 16hrs a week at the moment and all last year I was being taxed with a tax code of 561L instead of the usual 100L. I presume this was because I was employed by G4S on a casual basis during that tax year so I had two jobs in the tax folks eyes. I didn't work a single hour for G4S during that year due to other commitments and received my p45 some time in December. I was wondering if I can claim the tax back because I never earned any money from that second job and in my eyes had the wrong tax code. I've tried ringing HMRC but it's a pain in the ass to get through. Thanks anyway if anyone has any adivce  |

Prepare for lots of pain is my only advice when dealing with hmrc. I had a situation where I'd paid income tax for 6 months of a year despite being based in the middle East for that full tax year and the subsequent 2 years. Trying to explain this to them and trying to get a refund took a full 6 months of pain and suffering. As you say, their phone line is a joke, and you'll have to constantly explain your situation to every single person you speak to. Just beas patient as you can.

If youve earned under £10k in a year then you can claim it back, all mine did part time jobs last summer when home from uni, they got taxed but have just got it all back.

Your p60 wouldn't as it effectively had the wrong tax code calculating your tax. You will have to ring the tax office. They're nowhere near as bad these days as they used to be for this sort of stuff. I take it your still on a 500 odd tax code then? If you are once you've rang them they'll issue a 1060l code and you'll get all the tax back you've paid so far this tax year in your next applicable pay packet via who you work for. The previous years tax will be sent out via cheque/bank transfer via thr revenue. |

It's as if they knew their mistake yet I've not had a rebate. Guess it's time for me to give them a call. |

A quick call to them explaining you think you were overcharged tax last year will have em check your stuff and they'll issue a refund. They won't do anything until you give em a nudge. |

Demand repayment within 28 days or you will pursue as necessary including statutory interest. Thats how they do business, so treat them the same

Try to submit a claim online www.gov.uk/claim-tax-refund
All you need to have is your P60's etc. if you need further documents you will discover as you complete the online claim. Remember you tax code may not be straightforward as it could be collecting back-tax from previous years - this will be stated on your coding notice!

Change your name to Mr Vodafone. Failing that make a hefty donation to the Conservative Party and refuse to pay it.
Problem solved.
