Redundancy tax problem

I have has a 2nd job for sometime now. Occasionally after work and at weekends.
I was made redundant from my main job in February. I have been lucky enough to increase my house on the 2nd job but I think I have therefore been paying too much tax as the tax office have not yet been informed that the 2nd job is now effectively my main job.

What do I need to do to recify the situation? Will I get the tax back?:confused:

    You need to tell the tax office - unless you do, they won't know! Any tax overpaid in this tax year will come through your pay. Repayment for last year will come from HMRC.

  • In fact they should know, because they will have got a copy of the P45. However they're probably too inefficient to do anything about it.

    Its nnot a case of HMRC inefficiency - they won't know that the OP is not intending to take on a second job again unless he tells them.
