Redundancy. Tax reclaim

Misty1972

Hi. I was made redundant last June and paid higher rate tax. I've taken a break since then. Does anyone know if my income tax overpayment will be automatically sent to me. Also, I've been PAYE all my life and never had to do a tax return as company did them. Do I have to do one myself for 19/20. Thanks in advance

Yes lookee at this. Says to ring them but I was told by someone it was automatic. Conscious that they are busy with furlough. I'll try calling

If you were in receipt of any benefits in kind provided by your former employer then you will need to wait until they have provided your form P11D to both you and HMRC.

You should now have the P11D from your previous employer plus anything else relating to income and tax for the last TY.
It's probably as easy as anything else to just do a tax return given the tax year end has passed.
