It's not just companies and the self-employed who can claim tax back. If you're employed there are And not as stressed.

Having 19 year's experience in accounting and auditing I found I wanted to please customers and do a higher quality job that employers wanted. So I now work for myself, so I'm much happier pleasing you, the customer, than an employer. This page is specifically for Employees and knowing their rights for claiming tax back and making the most of their tax allowances.

Have you been sent a letter from HMRC saying you are due a refund?
Please be aware HMRC no longer send cheques automatically and YOU have to claim the refund back online if you want it.

Claim and see more details at https://www.gov.uk/tax-overpayments-and-underpayments/if-youre-due-a-refund

Your tax letter includes alternative routes if you cannot claim your repayment online.

HMRC changed their processes from 31 May 2024.
Previously any employees who receive a tax calculation letter and do not claim the repayment online automatically receive a cheque after 21 days. From 31 May 2024, cheques will no longer be issued automatically.

To quote HMRC

"Customers can claim their repayments at https://www.gov.uk/tax-overpayments-and-underpayments/if-youre-due-a-refund (which is just a link to your personal Government Gateway account). They will also be able to request a cheque through this process if preferred.

Your tax letter will include alternative routes for customers who cannot claim their repayment online."

What to do if you need to pay more tax or you're due a refund, including P800 tax calculations from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The HMRC app and online services can help you:

1. Claim money back on work expenses* - so an accountant doesn't need to take a cut, you can do it yourself. *https://www.gov.uk/guidance/job-expenses-for-uniforms-work-clothing-and-tools

2. Claim and manage Child Benefit.

3. Claim a tax refund.

4. Claim Marriage Allowance (which means if one of you pays tax (but earns under £50,270) and the other one doesn't, they can get a tax saving of £200 a year). The person NOT paying tax has to claim the allowance (as it is you giving them permission to have it from you).

Per HMRC: How to use the HMRC app for the first time
three simple steps:

1. Download the free HMRC app. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/download-the-hmrc-app
2. Follow the instructions on screen to complete the app settings – users will be asked to sign in.
3. Users will need to know their Government Gateway user ID and password to sign into their account on the app for the first time, but after that can just select facial recognition, a short PIN or choose to use their fingerprint to get in quicker. If they don't already have an ID and password, this can be created on the same sign in page.

Good news for employees - as well as the NI changes announced from 6/11/22 last week one Friday the government also announced from 6/4/23 the basic rate of income tax will go down to 19% (the date being brought forward to what originally planned)

So you should notice higher net wages on those dates (all tax codes and pay remaining equal).

Update on yesterday's NI cuts:

You will pay 1.25% less National Insurance from 6‌‌‌ ‌‌November 2022. It effectively reverses the uplift introduced in April 2022

Also the ring-fenced Health and Social Care Levy of 1.25% due to be introduced from April 2023 will not go ahead

If your employer doesn't seem to have reduced your NI deduction (and gross pay has stayed the same) in your pay after 6th November contact your employer directly to ask for the money back.
