Tax Issue

ginj

In October of this year, I started a job at 16. I am still in full time education, and completed the necessary P46 form. After being paid for two months, the tax stopped being deduction, and I am owed £41 back. I was just wondering how I claim this back, as it hasn't yet been paid to me?

On a second note, In January this year, I left this job, and they failed to give me a P45 form on leaving. I started a new job straight away, and they asked me to fill in a P46 form, of which I did. This has now been over a month, and the company say they have sent it off, although I am still having 20% of my wages taken off me in tax each week. Yet again, can anyone help me on how I claim this back, and am I still being taxed due to the assumption that they still think I have 2 jobs? I'm only 17, and its come to that I'm owed around £200, which is a lot of money for me.

What is your cirrent tax code?

As it's so close to the end of the tax year you may have to wait until then and apply for a rebate. If it was sorted out in the next week or so you may just manage to get an automatic rebate but it's looking unlikely.

If you are having 20% tax deducted then your new employer must be operating a BR code. If you ticked box B on the P46 then your employer should be operating code 603L week1/month1 whilst waiting on instructions from HMRC.
As jem16 said it's getting close to the end of the tax year and it's unlikely that HMRC will have new coding instructions out to your new employer in time for their next payroll run, especially if your old employer hasn't sent in P45 details for you. So you may have to wait until the end of the tax year and send your P60 (from new employer) and P45, or statement of earnings, from your old employer to your tax office requesting a refund of tax.

Thankyou for the replies. I haven't had any payslips from my job yet, I just look in my account to see that its correct so I don't actually know the code. I'll pick some in when I next go in. The one from my old job was 0BR, and after 2 months I stopped having the tax deducted, so I assume this tax should be sorted out automatically?

As jem16 states, its really close to the end of the tax year now so i would say to wait until you have your P60 from your current employer. When you have it, send it to your tax office (your P60 should tell you where that is or ask your employer) with any P45s from your other jobs and ask them for a refund. Make sure you give full details in a covering letter of your employment history when you do, it saves time! If you don't have a bank account and need a giro also tell them that. HTH

Cutex, if you could let us know what your weekly wage is going to be in both jobs and when you are going to start them, we can advise properly.
