Claiming back tax and NI on Overpaid wages?

cashbackproblems

Hi Guys

I left a job in June 2010 and recently was informed by my ex employers that they overpaid me in my final month of employment after tax, so I have to pay this money back, but how do I claim the tax back on this amount?



I have moved locations and I remember the tax office was somewhere in Birmingham but how do I find this out as I no longer have payslips? Also all I have is an email from employer requesting this payment, can I send the tax office this email as proof?



Many thanks

Ask your former employer if the amount they are demanding has been adjusted to take into account any overpaid tax/n.i I would assume that in these circumstances under paye its their responsibilty to correct any over paid amounts
e.g if they overpaid you by £100 then they should only be asking for £100 minus £20 tax and £11 ni(approx).

The employer should send you a revised final pay slip and revised P45 showing the correct amounts.

You should then hand this into your current employer. As this happened in the current tax year, your tax will be adjusted to take account of this.

If you are not working and don't do any more work until the end of the tax year, you will have overpaid tax anyway and should submit a claim for a tax rebate.

I don't know what happens about the overpaid NI, sorry.
