How and When can i get my tax back??

All you actually need is a proper notice of coding, without the w1/m1 tag so your income tax payments are cumulative. As soon as you get that any refund due will appear in your next wage payment as long as it is before the end of this tax year. Can the payroll department not sort this out for you? They should have done. Otherwise phone the tax office involved and ask them.

I agree with this, but did not think it was realistic to expect the coding to come through before a company will be doing its final payroll run of the tax year. It is certainly worth a try though.

The code number you have shown as an emergency code number as I showed above, you need to ring your tax office to enable them to issue the correct tax code (cumulative code)

This is what you need to do to get your tax back for 2006-2007

The tax office will not get involved, it's up to the individual to sort it out.

Well yes it is up to the individual but he will need to involve the Inland Revenue, otherwise how will it be dealt with?

As already posted, the op will need to ring the tax office up, provide his employment history for 2006-2007 to enable them to issue his tax code, that's as much as they will do.

And payroll will not change a tax code unless HMRC tell them to.

So yes, it requires a little bit of work from all three: the OP to ring the tax office and say he thinks his tax code is wrong and will they alter it please; the tax office to issue a new code to his employer (usually send a copy to the employee as well); and payroll to implement it.

Even if it's not corrected by the end of this tax year, IIRC the W1/M1 will go at the start of next tax year, so things should improve then.

A week 1/month1 code is never carried from one tax year to the next. An employer op a wk1/m1 code if they do not know the employees previous pay & tax details, they will operate the code number from the 06 April 2007, therefore there are no previous pay & tax details.

This is too confusing.
