    Tax codes change each year so it will be virtually impossible to work it out now.


    You will get an explanation with your cheque, why not just wait and it will be a nice bonus when
    you do get it.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    2011 -2012 - I guessing no refund, the year would have been calculated on the P11d received

    2012-2013 - 330 in your tax code, Non Tax Payer - 0, Basic rate tax payer - refund £66.00, Higher Rate - £132.00 Additional Rate £168 + interest

    2013 - 2014 - 330 in your tax code, Non Tax Payer 0, Basic rate tax payer - refund £66.00, Higher Rate - £132.00 Additional Rate £168

    These will be refunded by HMRC = you will receive one cheque covering both years.

    2014 - 2015 - This year will be refunded by your current employer, it will be a proportion of the figures above depending whether you are weekly or monthly paid. But as a rough guide it will be half of a yearly figure (maybe 7/12 ths) and will mean you will pay less that month / week.
