Am I due a tax rebate?

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 Patrick Harrison,
We would need to check your record to confirm this.
You can contact HMRC here:
Income Tax: general enquiries
Thank you. 

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 please can someone help me For the last year I have been on a 709 tax code on my wage slip yet when I log into my account it shows 1275l I have been paying tax every month even though I earn under the yearly threshold I have called a number of time tried the online chat contacted my patrol company and nothing I don’t even tho how or way my tax code changed I have been in the same job for 10 year

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. 

 

I think I have been paying more tax than I should! Could you use check this for me?

I believe i am due a tax refund for the previous tax year. Please can you help confirm this?

Have a drawdown pension and the provider took 20% from my request as per emergency tax. My old age pension and other small pensions take me to the £12590 threshold. Am I due any rebate on the 20% taken from my drawdown?

Hi,
Please see the following information:
Estimate your Income Tax for the current year                            
Estimate your Income Tax for a previous tax year
Thankyou.

Hi Andrew,
This would depend on the tax code operated by the pension provider.
If your other incomes (not including drawdown) total or exceed £12570 (this years personal allowance, and you have no other deductions in your code) and a BR code
has been operated by your pension provider, this would be correct.
Please use the income tax calculator (Estimate your Income Tax for the current year)  to include your total income and calculate tax due.
If you believe you are due a repayment, you can complete a form P53Z. 
Thank you.

Hi there, I received a tax refund because I payed too much tax? does this affect my universal credit?

Hi ErinNicole,
The refund would count as income during the assessment period in which it is received, yes - this income may have been excluded in the calculation from the period in which it was overpaid. For more information, call the Universal Credit helpline on 0800 328 5644 
Thank you.

But as per my understanding we shouldn’t be taxed until we cross tax allowance of 12570. I really need help with this what can i do about this?
