Over taxed

My 20 year old daughter started a part time retail job in June. She is contracted to work 16 hours a week for £6.70 an hour. She is also doing a local college course, and fitting work around her course. Anyway for the past 3 months she has been put on emergency tax, and this month was the first month she didn't get taxed (new tax code) - woo! How does she go about getting her overpaid tax back?

    Payroll should adjust and give a rebate? - Otherwise see http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/incometax/refund-reclaim.htm
  • What code is she now on?
  • get in touch with the tax office and they will either change her tax code or give her a rebate.
    it is really easy to do.

    This sounds like she was on BR or 0T tax and has just been put on emergency (810L WK1) so no longer being taxed. Did she fill in a P46 recently?
