How do i get my tax sorted?

Question

I left my old job end of may2006 and was unemployed for 3 months but started odd jobs in sept and finally settled in the one i am in now from Oct. The things is my tax code in may 2006 was 489L but when i left i didn't get my p45 for a few months(complications in head office) so was on emergency tax code 503L but when i started my current job in oct i finally recieved my p45 but have been still taxed every month on the 503L and this month it has gone to 522L. Am i due a rebate, how do i sort this out? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have always found the tax office only too pleased to help. I would phone them and ask what you should do. They are there to help.

Answer 2

Based on the information you have given in your question, it looks to me that you do not have grounds for a rebate. The tax codes you have quoted are correct for the years in question.

The normal (not emergency, it does not exist anymore) tax codes for the years are as follows:-

Current year (2007- 2008) - 522L
last year (2006 - 2007) - 503L
previous (2005 -2006) - 489L

If you wish to check this out then go to your local tax office with all of your P60's for the years in question and they will check out if you have paid too much tax, but I doubt that you have as the tax codes you have quoted are correct for the years involved.
