She has already done what have already been said but she is not getting anywhere so I thought the citizens advice would phone her works to find out what they have done.

I am confused? She has done what was suggested? But you say it came to light in last months payslip so am I not reading correctly?

So this happened last year and you wrote to them at the end of the tax year and from April until now are still not getting the money?

Is this correct?



What you need to do
Contact your employer. They’ll usually be able to refund you using their Real Time Information (RTI) payroll system.

If they can’t, write to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) after the end of the tax year you’re claiming for.

You’ll need to tell them:

your National Insurance number
why you overpaid
which tax year or years you overpaid in
how much tax and National Insurance you paid in the tax year or years you’re claiming for - include your P60 or a statement from your employer
why you can’t get the refund from your employer
HM Revenue and Customs
National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office
BX9 1AN
Call HMRC if you need help.

Deadline for claiming
There’s no time limit for claiming if you overpaid because you had more than one job.

You must claim the refund within 6 years if you overpaid because:

you shouldn’t have paid National Insurance, for example you’re State Pension age
you paid the wrong rate
your employer made a mistake
You may be able to claim after this deadline if you have a reasonable excuse

I assumed that the initial error occurred in September and the correction was made in October.

Either way if the employer won't / can't help then it looks like the girlfriend will have to wait until next April to get it sorted.
