I started work in June and have been working ever since, albeit I got a new job at the start of November. I have obviously been paying taxes since I started work after graduating from university. I received a letter saying that I had a tax free amount of 'x' , and I have been paying my income and national insurance taxes since I have been in employment. With my former job I only slightly earned more than my tax free amount for that job and in my second job I still feel under my tax free amount completely. Will I be due back some of the tax I paid earlier in the year and if so what would I have to do to be able to retrieve this money?

Hi Harrison1969,
Any tax rebate due will automatcially be calculated and issued following the end of this 23/24 tax year, after the 6th of April 2024.
If you would like us to confirm if you have overpaid tax, just contact us by webchat or post here:
Income Tax: general enquiries
Thank you.

I have used the webchat service and it is told me that 'You do not need to do anything. Your Income Tax will be adjusted automatically throughout the year'. Does this mean that the money I have overpaid will just be taken off my upcoming monthly payments in the future or have I misunderstood?

Money you have overpaid will not be taken off upcoming payments. You should be refunded for any overpayment in a previous tax year.

Oh ok thanks for letting me know. Will I be refunded the overpaid tax in full at some point, by cheque maybe or something like that? And if so when should I expect this?

Hi,

If your tax code was amended then any refund due will come back through your wages. If the tax year has finished then once HMRC receive your PAYE details we will review and if overpaid you will receive a calculation with detials of how to claim refund. 

Thank you.

Hi. I've overpaid tax for last financial year 2023-2024 and was wondering when Will I receive my refund ? My total earnings for the year are : £15,986. The tax I've paid so far is a total of £1,163.6 and national insurance: £623.23 According to my calculations I should have only paid £683 income tax and £393 national insurance. This means I'm due REFUND of a total of £480.6 income tax and £230.23 national insurance.

Hi Firas Ben Amer,
If you complete a Self Assessment tax return then any tax refund due would be calculated when you submit your tax return. If you are not in Self Assessment then when HMRC receives your PAYE income your record will be reviewed and if overpaid a calculation will be issued to you. 
Thank you.

Hi katyblaze01,
If you were on the wrong tax code for the 2023/24 tax year then once HMRC receive confirmation of the PAYE income we will review your record and if overpaid a calculation will be issued to you.
If you are still on the wrong code for the current 2024/25 tax year then you will need to contact HMRC to review:
Income Tax: general enquiries
Thank you.
