    So I have had notification from HMRC that the tax code is now BRx so maybe I will get refunded via the employer

    I am sticking with the pension payments
    X in your code  means it operates month to month only so you won't get any refund for previous months from your employer.

    If you are confident that you have overpaid on that employment then just ask HMRC to issue the code on a cumulative basis.

    Your employer will then recalculate your tax the next time they pay you (after receiving the new code) and the tax due at that point should be 20% of your taxable earnings in that new employment.
