Interesting one this. I've been on an emergency tax code since starting my new job back in August.

 

Has been quite frustrating. :headvswal

 

Enquired with the tax office and it appears my P45 from a job I did in the last financial year was not sent to the correct address, so even if I was put on a week1 tax code, I'd still not be able to claim the emergency tax back pro rata.

 

Now the tax office wouldn't give me any of my own information telling me it was confidential....go figure.. :nelson:

 

So I had to suss it all out for myself. Managed to get statement of earnings and various letters sent out.

 

Phoned them up this morning after having another pay slip through with still the emergency tax code on it. Spoke to a chap there who indicently was very helpful.

 

Said not only was a new tax code issued today and all my tax will be returned, but I also get a rebait of £500 from last year which should arrive as a cheque next week!! BONUS! :hyper:

 

Only thing that pisses me off is that if I hadn't have flagged this up, I'd be £500 worse off.

 

Gits!

Aye - i was the same last year - but i was on Emergancy tax for a good 6 months +

 

Got it sorted & a cheque came through the post for £1500 lol

I've had the same thing. You can be as sure as hell that if you had underpaid your tax they would be coming after you, but unfortuantly if you've overpaid its up to you to do all the donkey work to get it back. :headvswal

ok i need to get my ass into gear. i was on emergency tax from a job which i was in between december 03 through to may 04. i cant find my P60 or P45 so don't know what i can do about getting a rebate.

 

if you guys have any help that would be AWESOME! i need money right now :) will they accept payslips as proof or will the taxmen already have it on record somewhere?

 

i sooo should have done something about this before but it confuses me so much

 

-v-

They should have a record of your income from the company you worked on mate!

 

go to your local tax ofice and they will check the comp and talk you through it!

Speak to your employer from the time you worked on that tax code and get them to write you a statement of earnings. It will declare your tax as well.

 

You can't obtain a P45 from a previous tax year, but a statement of earnings can be sent through to you.

 

You then need then find where your tax office is for you current employer (as that's where your records will be kept) and send them that info.

 

If you've changed addresses they may ask you for your previous address and what have you.

 

Draught a covering letter somewhere along the following....

To Whom It May Concern:

 

Please could you update my employer records and put me on a cumulative tax code. I have been on an emergency tax code since the start of my employment with (current employer) which I’ve just had changed to ‘week1’ tax code. But need my records updated with respect to my statement of earnings from my last employer to enable me to claim back tax pro-rata from my time whilst on the emergency tax code with my current employer.

 

For reference, the work gap between date of leaving Guernsey Crewing Services and Inchcape Shipping Services was taken up with study at Warsash College in Hampshire. Please find enclosed my statement of earnings from Guernsey Crewing Services.

 

Please can you send a copy of the new code to myself at the above address and my current employer:

Many thanks and best regards
