Tax refund

therutles1988

Hi I'm very new to the forum.

I'm a little confused about whether or not I can apply for a tax refund/rebate or whatever, on my new job.

I earn just over £12k a year (following tax), I live with my parents, I don't own any property and I don't have any assets. I'm also under 30 (don't know if that's relevant!)

Could someone please tell me, in layman's terms, if and how I can claim a refund on tax deducted from my wages? I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thanks! :rotfl:

What is your current tax code?

System

As jem16 says we need you tax code. Your net pay is no indication of anything as what you receive in your hand is totally down to the tax code operated by your employer.
Your tax free personal allowance as someone under 65 years of age is £6475 (10/11) and that usually equates to a code of 647L. That is unless you have additional allowances or deductions included in your code.

Allowances would include professional subscriptions
Deduction would include taxable benefits such as Incapacity Benefit, car and fuel benefits for having a companuy car or medical benefits.

If the OP is working and on PAYE surely any tax refund would be sorted through his salary.

OP what makes you think that you are entitled to a tax refund.

If the OP is on the correct tax code then yes. As it's a new job it's possible the correct tax code is not being used.
