Can you confirm what you have entered on the "employment" page of the return?

Just the pay and tax deducted figures will be enough.

Indeed. If the op entered no tax, as opposed to the tax that was deducted from the employment, there would be no overpayment due as no tax was deducted. Obviously tax of £377.40 should be entered on the employment page which will be counteracted by the refund paid leaving no payment due or repayable.

It is always possible (though unlikely) that both the employer and HMRC refunded the same £377 but if the employer didn't refund the tax then the op hadn't completed the return correctly first time round.

That's correct, I'm sure HMRC paid it. My employer definitely didn't bother making sure I got it back as I had to contact HMRC myself. Pretty sure it's all correct now Thanks again
