Tax Aid for employed persons - the PAYE Tax System (P45/P60)
Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system is a method of paying income tax. It concerns employed persons - your employer deducts tax from your wages at source (before paying the wage) and sends the tax to HMRC, so normally you do not have to file a Tax Return. Those deductions may differ from your final annual tax liability, so any overpayment is reclaimable.
The Tax Code is issued by HMRC and tells your employer how much tax they must deduct each week or month. NOTE: If the tax office does not have enough information they can issue a wrong tax code or an emergency tax code which usually means you are paying too much tax. So, if your code does not work correctly, you can claim a tax refund.
Most important reasons for a PAYE tax overpayment are: you started or left a job part way through the tax year, your employer was using the wrong tax code, you were unemployed for part of the year, you had more than one job at the same time, etc.
Claiming a PAYE refund can be done by completing a few tax forms and sending them to the tax office. NOTE: you must have the P45/P60 vouchers from your employer(s). To ensure you get the maximum possible refund and avoid mistakes and delays, we recommend that you use professional help.
