How would your Tax code change if for instance you were allowed to claim the £60 x 20% = £12 and your Tax code was 747L (I’m curious to know what a Tax code would change to?)

Plus My daughter said she claims her allowance through work but she washes her own clothes however her Tax code is 747L

Just got my tax refund of £107 for tax year 2010/11 and adjustment on my tax code to 757. Didn't get anything for previous five years, even though I mentioned I had worked at my present job since Nov 2005 but will write again to see if I am due further rebate. Watch this space........
A BIG THANK YOU to MSE!:j

£7475 + £60 = £7535. So the tax Code goes to 753L

I suspect you did. The refund of £107 (if that is what it is all for?) will be for all 5 years + this current year. If you look at the P2 (Coding Notice) you should have had - it should show the allowances added. And I think you will find they've pushed all of it into 11-12.

The normal refund for a single year is £12 (£60relief) to £20 (£100 relief).

I claimed for 6 years Tax code was 747L now its 787L no refund though. MB

Your Code number has been increased by £400 - which means you pay £80 less tax in the year. So you would perhaps notice it as a reduction of tax in the month the Code was implemented - rather than a 'refund'?

Had a feeling this is what they may have done - hopefully they don't forget to re-adjust in April. Would have been much easier if they had adjusted to take account of the £12 a year and given me a refund.

Can anyone explain a bit easier what this means, I received the following letter from HM Revenue & Customs today.

Thank you for your letter.

I can allow the following amounts for laundry expenses:

Tax year up to and including 2007 - 2008 £105
Tax year after 2008 - 2009 £140

An adjustment has been made in your 2011 - 2012 tax code to backdate the amounts and include as an allowance. A refund will be given via your salary when the new code is operated.

.......... I also received another letter stating

Your new tax code for year 6 April 2011 to 5 April 2012 is 839L, which replaces 747L.

How will I receive a refund?
