As I knew it it means she has to apply for a repayment. If you change your job around the new employer puts you on an 'emergency' code which is probably higher than the tax she should be paying.

But I know there are folk way more qualified than me to help you Aims.

Hope he pops in tomorrow my daughter seems to think I'm a tax inspector

He's a moderator and does the morning afternoon shift here. So yep, you catch him

The tax office are dead canny, and instead of repaying money they have overcharged someone, they will readjust the tax code so that person pays a smaller amount of tax over a few years.  However, if they think you own them money, they are not as accommodating.

Aimee, rather than wait for a tax repayment to be made which could take a long time it's best for your daughter to ring HMRC. If she's not employed at present she could ring now. If she's still employed wait until ahe gets her P60  from the employer which should be in the next few weeks.

Phone number is 0300 200 3300

They are open Mondays to Fridays 8am to 8pm

and Saturdays 8am to 4pm

She will need to give her national insurance number. It would be useful if she has details of the employments during the year which would be on the P45s she should have got when she left as they show the employers PAYE reference number, gross and tax deducted. (P45s are what you get when you leave a job, P60s are what you get if you are still employed at 5 April).

She should ring when she has time as getting through to HMRC can take some time.

The easiest way to get a rebate is to ask the tax office for a tax return, once filled and processed the rebate should come automatically
