    What tax code do you have? Both tax and NI are higher than normal if on a 810L tax code so we need more details.
  • Thanks for the reply.

    My tax code is 810L. I started the job in August last year and it was my first and only job during the 2012/2013 tax year.

    Did you receive any JSA?
  • No, I didn't. I was a student until July.

    does your tax code have anything after it

    e.g. 810L m1 ?
  • What's on my pay slip is:

    Tax code: 000810L

    Well on those figures you should only have paid tax of £2290.57 so you are due a refund of £222.31.

    NI cannot be reclaimed.

    Surprising. From those figures you are more than likely on a Mth1 tax code as opposed to a cumulative tax code. This can be shown with a 1 or a Mth1 somewhere after the tax code itself.

    810L is the standard tax code which most people have this year. It will be 944L next year.
  • Thank you all for your help.
