confused - any help would be great

h20polo

i was travelling until july last year, so did not earn any money till then. i then claimed JSA of about £50 a week for about 10 weeks, (£500)

i then worked 1 day of temporary work (£50)

i then got my current job in october and earn £252/week

i have been paying tax on that as though it was a full years job, but obviously it only started in october.

i have worked my total earnings for the tax year to be approx 7762, meaning i should only pay tax of £128 (i've paid £717) and NI of £112 (i've paid £436)

so i believe that i have paid £589 too much tax and £324 too much NI.

can i get a rebate of both the tax and the excess NI payments?

when can i make the first steps towards this?

what actions do i need to take?

and lastly - what time scale am i looking at for a rebat if given?

All responses will be greatly appreciated

National insurance is not calculated on an annual basis so you will not be due any repayment for this.

There is no point in taking action now as we are too close to the tax year end. As soon as you get your P60 write to HMRC at the address on your code number and give them the details along with the other information you have given us.

The actual rate for jobseeker's was £50.95 per week so you should give the accurate figure. It will help to avoid delays.

If all the information is on hand refunds can be processed quite quickly but this question is the same as enquiring after the length of a piece of string.
