Tax rebate

TheEffect

I earned £8039 and paid £1067 in tax. Am I entitled to a tax rebate? If so, how do I claim the tax back?

I believe I was on emergency tax for a while so was paying more then I should have been.

Also, I worked part-time for a few months last year (April09 - August09) but this earnings haven't been added to my P60, even though I handed in the P46 (I think that's what it's called) to my new employer.

Even if I add up all of the earnings from part time and full time from last year, I earned £10,400 and paid £1080 tax. (Didn't pay tax at part-time job as was earning too little).

Shall I just send my P60 and a covering letter and let the tax office work it all out?

If the £8039 is not your full pay for the year, its impossible to say whether you are due a refund.
Simply send your P60 to your tax office with a letter setting out all your employments for the year and ask them for a refund.

OP says they earned £10,400 in the tax year and that included the part-time work which was before starting the job which paid £8,039 as it appears a P45 was issued but not used by the new employer.

Assuming that simply the full personal allowance should have been applied, I reckon about £785 should have been paid in tax for the year. So, having had £1,067 deducted for income tax, it does look like a refund of £282 would be due.

For this tax year, I would suggest a P46 is completed now and box A ticked -

This is my first job since last 6 April and

I have not been receiving taxable Jobseeker's
Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance
or taxable Incapacity Benefit or a state or

occupational pension.

Sorry to hijack this thread. I am in a similar position except I worked for numerous different places all with different tax offices I therefore have a pile of p45s but my P60 doesnt show all my earnings, I assumed by handing in a P46 it would all be rolled up. I was wrong.
Anyway to get to the point, which tax office should I contact? My local one?

You contact the tax office which handles your current job's tax. There should be an employer reference on your payslip/P60.
