How long do I wait for tax overpayment

paul2louise

I have 2 jobs and last year 24/25 the tax allowance split was not right and I only paid tax in one job and other job was under the allocation. I understand I can't do anything until 30th November and I haven't received my P800. Is it usual to be last minute or is it worth chasing up. Thanks

They don't usually split the tax allowance when someone has two jobs, what are the numbers?

Why do you think you have overpaid tax?
As stated above, we need the numbers involved for each employment, e.g. annual salary, tac deducted and code numbers.

The tax codes would be based on HMRC's estimate of what they expected the op to earn at each job and if they changed during the year, which isn't unusual given tax codes are calculated two or three months before the tax year has even started, then it's possible there were some unused allowances at one job.

Meaning too much tax could have been paid at the other one.

Presumably the op has checked their P60's and knows what is due back.

That is it

So I had codes
246N and 884T in Feb 25 and only earned 1800 in the 246N job. The other job I earned 12738.
I had the shared 10% married allowance for my husband which I hadn't removed in time for this tax year as he retired half way through

Then the codes changed in march 25 
246L and 1010T

I phoned tax office and asked for the job with 246L to be altered as I wouldn't earn more than £2000 so for this current tax year then codes are

1235L and BRX.

so what I am asking is year 24/25 in the job 246N I only earned 1800 so didn't pay any tax, the job 884T I earned 12738. Will I get some of the tax I paid in 884T back. Does this make sense. 

I paid £450.40 tax in job 884T, My gross was 12738.97

If Marriage Allowance remained in place until 5 April 2025 then you would actually owe an extra £195.20.

If Marriage Allowance wasn't ultimately in place for 2024/25 then HMRC would owe you £56.80.

So what you are saying is that I owe them not they owe me.

Based on the figures you have provided yes.

Are they taken from your 2024/25 P60's?
