Tax refund/rebate

Anothernewstart

During the tax year 2010/11 my husband only worked part of the year and earned just under £10,000 and paid just over £1400 in tax.

Am I correct in thinking this is an overpayment and should be able to reclaim some tax?
Would he be able to claim interest on what is owed?

Thanks

Did he claim any benefits in the time that he didnt work.

Was he self employed on did he work for someone else on PAYE

JSA is taxable.

He got contributions based during tax year 2009/10 then nothing further benefits wise as I worked 25 hrs per week.

He started work beginning November 2010 for an employer, so only work 5 months of the tax year.

Hello ANS,

Yes, it is likely that your husband is due a tax refund so you will need to calculate how much he has overpaid then submit the relevant paperwork to HMRC for your claim to be processed if so.

He cannot claim interest but HMRC will add interest to the refund if applicable.

Tell him to give HMRC a ring, they will have all the details to hand by now as to his earnings and tax paid.

They should be able to tell him straight away and start the process of a refund if any is due.
