Is it for this tax year? If so you'll have to wait until april 5th before you can claim it back
You need to contact the tax office for the company you worked for. If you don't know it, ring your old employers.
On a general note, how come you paid tax at all? If your earnings were below the annual personal allowance you shouldn't have paid tax at all.
Or was it a case you earnt £6000 but in a short period of time?

If you dont have a p45 from your last job (or just dont give it to your new employer) you can get put onto an emergency tax code.
I ended up doing this and paying too much tax. Took a fair bit of pestering them before they sent me my money tho.
I have worked all my lfe since the age of 16 and my mates around me seem to be getting tax rebates. I must be doing something wrong. Or maybe they are doing right but only regarding me. I have been in pretty much ever tax band as well. Maybe song immigrant has stolen my NIN /UKIP
Great constructive post. Well done.
In this case it sounds like the classic 'Start a job, don't hand in P45 from previous job, or don't complete P46, so get put on the wrong tax code (by the employer, nothing to do with HMRC at this point) don't do anything about it, then winge about a situation of your own making ages down the line' case.
Contact any HMRC office, doesn't need to be the one that dealt with your old employer, any office can now deal with it. Pick one from here
Did you earn less than £6035 last year? And what tax code was shown on your payslip?
I can remember just walking into a tax office, getting a ticket and waiting till it ws called then being dealt with face to face (was a case of reclaiming tax back cos I earnt under the threshold but employer stuck me on emergency code for first few months) is this not the case anymore?

Just work it out yourself - it isnt difficult. Look at your most recent payslip, it tells you your earnings this tax year and the tax taken. Obviously if the earnings are less than £6470 then you are entitled to ALL that 'tax taken' back.
You generally find if your weekly/monthly salary is enough x 12 to put you over the non-tax threshold you get taxed. Even if you're only temping for 2-3 months. You then need to wait and claim it back. Have to ring the tax office for the area of the company you worked for. Usually stated on payslips which tax office it should be.
I was due a rebate from 08/09, it came through in november after an april application. Takes ages but it will get there. You could have avoided this, as surely you knew that you were not going to break the personal allowance threshold?
also are you sure that it's tax that you've paid and not National Insurance?
If you're paid weekly you can earn £110 per week anything after that is charged at 11% upto about 844 a week.
or monthly works out as about x4 £110, so if you've earnt about £5700 in a year then you would have paid an amount of Ni.

Reading this thread makes me think I should be entitled to a tax rebate but I really don't understand anything like that. It's quite annoying that real life stuff like this they don't teach you in schools. It makes me feel like quite a retard.
Funnily enough i have a personal tax study book infront of me, want some help?
While I am grateful for the offer I think it would still end up going over my head. However I wonder if there is a book for noobs that I could have a read over.
Then there is the question of how far back can you claim and what proof do I need to have. I have a feeling that when I was younger I may not have kept my pay slips.

if you work for a company normally you're taxed via PAYE which means that your employer will deduct tax from your income as you go through out the year. you have an amount that you can earn each year called a nill rate band that you;re not taxed on this tax year i think its £6475 - this is divided by 12 and each time your paid each month the first £539 is income tax free intodays tax rules anything over this you then pay 20% tax on.
If you changed employers a lot when you were younger i.e. several in the course of a year you may have over paid an amount of tax. HMRC will have records of this normally.
It's worth a shot, you never know. But it you were with one place the whole time it;d have all be done for you. You may have paid too much on one month and then had it rebaited the following months
