How to claim back emergency tax paid without P45 (in the UK)?

How to claim back over paid tax without my p45?

• Hi, in 2010/2011 tax year i earned just over £7000, but i was taxed based on me earning £15000 but sadly i left my job because of the train commute there over January when we had the snow. I contacted my old employer (the aa) And they said they had sent my p45 to me but it must have got lost in the post because i never got it. I am unsure about how to claim back the over paid tax, i think i paid about £400-700 in total which is way to much because almost 7k should be tax free. I dont have a printer so i cant get any forms off the internet.

• Answer:

  Relax, if you look at your payslips from theAA, you should find that your tax code is 747L. If not then theAA have got a moron working their payroll and you have been given the wrong tax code and charged too much in tax. Now that you have left theLousyAA your only hope of getting a refund of the taxes you paid is to phone the HMRC or the Inland Revenue. They are the twits that collect all the taxes from all employes in the UK. So what you do is to phone (during office hours): 0845 300 0627 which is the number of the tax office. They will ask you for your National Insurance number and details of your last employer. You just explain to them that you have left theLousyAA and they will then promise to give you a refund of your tax. The actual refund will come to you by way of cheque in either 4 weeks or 12 weeks depending on how lazy the person you talked to in the tax office is - but you will definitely get your money back!
