Ijncome tax questions

Hi guys any accountants here or anyone who can help with the following?

If trying to work out how much tax ive paid this year, but i feel ive over paid and want to know what is owed to me and when i will get it back.

Started a job after easter 2010 (so first income in 2010-2011 tax year) and worked for 5 months earning £10241. I paid tax on every monthly wage on the tax code 674L. I then was made redundant with no monies, took a 2 week holiday and then signed on the JSA which i was on until Feb 27, 2011. Now ive started a new job but i think they are using an emergency tax code as im being taxed still.

My total income for 2010-2011 is:
10241 first job
1542 jsa (no taxed paid?)
and then 2700 for this new job upto the end of this tax year.

Yet i will have paid £1883 in tax but i think it should be about £1546 based on:
(14470-6740) x 0.2

Am i close or totally wrong, how do i go about getting it back, should i wiat until i recieve a P60 from my new job and then make my claim or should i do it now before the rush?

Cheers

whats your current tax code on your payslips?

if your local job centre is like mine, there might be a tax adviser dept in there. at mine you go upstairs and there'2 women there who deal with tax questions. really good they were last year. i' m sure they're linked with the job centre, but i don't know if every job centre has one

look online

look online for one of the tax/ national insurance calculators.

or just give them a call and ask them for more info and a calculation as you think you've overpaid.

Basic allowance is 6470, not 6740; tax code should be 647L

oops fingers got stuck tot he keyboard after eating some chocs.

I have paid all NI which isnt included in my calc for tax. I just didnt know what to do regarding questioning it, if i should wait or ask now even without my P60. I have all records (P45 from first job, P45 from Jobcentre which shows no tax paid on their payments and pay slips from my current job) which is what i have used to see how much i have paid so far and it seem about £300 too much.

Will wait for this weeks payslip and then ask them i think.,

Cheers

Call your Tax office / HMRC and tell them you're working and are on an emergency code. They'll put you back on 647L and you'll get a refund/allowance the following month.

I had a similar thing when I just started the job (first month was on an emergency code and overpaid silly due to a joining in bonus). All came back the following month (deductions on payslip were far less) once code was corrected. Very helpful people actually on the other side of the phone. Must've been a good day.
