Tax code changed Rebate due??

Hi my husband has just had a PAYE notice today saying that his tax code code has changed from 347L to 647L he earns about 33000 a year and has just given up his company van (wasn't big enough) and opted for a 2000 car allowance instead . The leter says the new code applies from 6th April 2010 to 5th April 2011, does this mean he is due a rebate from the extra tax he has paid from April?

Any help/advice would great,

Thanks

  • He should be due a rebate......but with it still being the same financial year April 2010 - to March 2011 - that they've mis-coded him, I think (someone correct me if i'm wrong) an adjustment should be made automatically on his next wageslip. He should get this money back by ebing paid extra on his wages he should get a positive figure on his PAYE rather than a deduction. I think (again correct me if i'm wrong) you only have to claim it back or recieve a cheque rebate from HMRC if it dates before the current tax year (i.e. before April 2010).

    when did he give up the van?

    if he had it in the current tax year then there should still be an element of it in the code.
