Am I eligible for a tax refund?

I got my P60 today and it says I have earned less than the £6471 threshold, yet I have paid £284 in tax.

Am I elgible to claim the £284 back?

Yes, send the P60 to your tax office with a covering letter setting out what you were doing throughout the year and ask for a refund.

Any idea where I would have to send this to? As in where could I find the address, as the local office to me (Scarborough) closed recently.

is there a employers ref on your p60, if im right the first 3 numbers bring up your tax office.

i.e 304/db1517

Hi guys, quick update, I sent a cover letter to the following address as per the tax code reference on my P60.

5 Young Street Concept House,
Sheffield, S1 4LA.


However, firstly I wanted to try and get in touch with them to see if it has been received and what will happen with it.
Also, I was on Jobseekers Allowance between April2009-September 2009. I suspect I shall need to provide them proof of them amount received. Who do I contact within DWP to get written confirmation of this?

To your bank account if you gave them details. Otherwise cheque.

Remember Job seekers will form part of your tax free allowance.

When jobseekers ended you would have been sent a P45u which would have your payment details on. Part 1A of this form should have been kept for your records, while parts 2 & 3 should have been given to your new employer; hopefully you have it somewhere.
Otherwise I would just give what details you can as the tax office should have the details from part 1 of the p45.
