How do i change my tax code to the correct one!

Hi all,

Some advice would be apprecieted!

I started working with a supply agnency at the start of September after being unemployed for a few months.

I've noticed on my weekly pay slips that my tax code is BR (basic rate i'm guessing!) I worked for 3 weeks in the summer at another job and asked for a P45 to be sent to me after i finished. I haven't received it and have no address or phone number for them to chase up! When i started at the agency I didn't fill out any tax forms.

Silly I know, i think i have to fill out a P46 so I can get my annual contributions included (the £6000 odd you can earn tax free.) I have asked the agency to send me a form but so far they havent and i'm just wondering if anyone knows:
How i can claim back the overpaid tax.
How do i get on the right tax code!

Any ideas would help as i am totally clueless about all this and its making my monthly wage quite low!

Thanks,

ljb.

As you don't have a P45 filling out a P46 is probably the best way to go.

You can get it from the HMRC website and hand it to your employer.

How i can claim back the overpaid tax.

Once your tax code is correct any overpaid tax will be refunded automatically.

Fill in the P46.

Thank you so much! You are a star! I did try to find a P46 to print out and got no where! Thank you so much!
