Refunded income tax for last year only to now owe?

wee_ems39

I finished working at my previous job last year and worked two months on SSP, I received a Tax Rebate.

However I have now been told I didn't pay enough tax last year and so they are taking it this year (change of tax code)

Can someone explain how this can happen and what I can do about it as it seems absurd!!

Thanks in advance

Things can change during a tax year so it's not all that unusual.

Was the tax refund paid with the SSP by your employer?

What have you received to say you owe tax for 2022-23?

I owe exactly what I was refunded and was with SSP
