I think i may be eligable for some tax back because at the start of the year I was paying quite a bit of tax as I was getting 3 or 4 weeks pay put down as one week

Pay -£8959.74
Tax -£1048.39

Tax code 522L

Earnings upto and including the earnings threshhold - £3400
Earnings above the earnings threshhold - £5252
Employees contributions - £581.07

In this tax year

Tax code 543L (?)
Gross pay £3553.04
Tax paid £459.40

For last year, I calculate you should have only paid £553.00 in tax.

What tax week / month is that at? If it's at week 12, it's fine.

You'll need to split that between tax and national insurance. If they paid you all in one week, then you'll've paid a lot of NI. And you ain't getting it back.

thanks. Yep i paid a load of NI too. Crappy accounts department where i worked. I did keep all my pay slips, any chance of getting NI back or is there no point?

lolism - I calculated i was owed about £500 back in tax. cheers
