Do you not have to have a reason for a tax refund?

Don't they just refund automatically?

Confused.

[UKSILVERCOINS]

Yes sometimes the refunds are payed automatically in with your May paycheck but not all the time.

Some people may also find that they are on emergency tax if their employer hasn't provided HMRC with the right tax code.

-----------------------------------

You may have paid too much tax if:

you started a new job and had an emergency tax code for a while

your employer was using the wrong tax code

you were only employed for part of the year

you're a student who only worked at holiday times

you had more than one job at the same time

other income you have that is taxed through your tax code for example, savings/investment income has reduced since you last told HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) about it - which means the amount of income included in your tax code is too high

you stopped working and didn't get any taxable earnings or benefits for the rest of the tax year

your circumstances changed - for example you changed from full to part-time working or became self-employed

you were made redundant

you received payments after leaving such as arrears of pay, payments in lieu of notice, unpaid holiday pay, redundancy or termination payments including compensation for loss of office or employment

Something not many people know is that if you work at a temporary work place you can claim travel expenses even if you're paye, if you work on a building site or travel to different places because of your job you can get 20% back on all expenses, the tax man won't tell you this but so many people are owed thousands, thousands that they will never get back unless they fill out a paye self assessment form.

I finally got a reply from the tax office apparently i never changed anything from my last job and was already claiming for uniform,but i do not have private medical with the new job and i was still paying tax for that so they gave me a rebate of £247 so was well worth a stamp.
