    Not quite a freebie. They'll take a cut of any money they get you back.

    I did just this... a few weeks ago. Not really expecting much more than a few quid.
    I was overjoyed when the cheque landed on my doormat, for nearly £500!!
    It is worth the little time it takes.
    When life throws you lemons...put them in a gin and tonic !!

    Thanks for the details, Barry. I've moved your post over here as it seemed a more appropriate place for it than the Freebies board. :)

    I have been overpaying my tax for three years!! & was due some tax relief on my pension contributions. I got a cheque for over £1000 + an extra £300 (estimate) in this months pay + my tax code has gone up.

    I love the tax man this month.

    can anyone who is working through an employer check if they are owed any tax back or is it just usually self employed people?

    marie - everyone has the right to claim, or attempt to claim back tax. It doesn't matter whether you're employed, seld-employed, unemployed or a child.

    As isasmurf said anyone can contact their tax office and ask for their tax affairs to be reviewed re a possible refund. Some of these firms can charge as much as 40% of whatever refund is due to you no matter how big or small. The Inland Revenue pays you your full refund.

    How long should it take, and what information would i need to hand if i were to do this?

    Just got my final payslip of the year today, and i've overpaid about £2 , which i can live with :D , but i think i overpaid by quite a bit the previous tax year, due to job changes etc.
