Reclaiming Emergency Tax

danielholdsworth

Hi there. I have now been on emergency tax code 'BR' since l started my job back in March 2008. I am full time 39 hours per week and earn minimum wage. I come out with about £12500 per year. Can you advise me how much l can expect back?

I've sent a letter with copies of my P60's (although not my latest P60 because its not arrived yet) to the address l was told to. Is that all l need do? How long do they usually take.

I'm stupidly relying on this money for 6 months rent in advance that l have to find for the beginning of August and am worried l've left it too late.

Any advise would be very gratefully received.

Yours,

A very stressed Daniel

BR is basic rate, not emergency tax. However have you managed all this time?
Impossible to say how much refund you would get without knowing how much your gross pay and tax deducted for each year is, but you will also be due a repayment supplement of 08/09.
Most tax offices have about 8-9 weeks post on hand, so you can only wait.
