Income tax

How on earth do i find out if i am being/have been taxed and paid the correct NI contributions?

I'm wishfully thinking that I'm due a £2k rebate but have no grounds to base this on apart from pure hope. It would be nice after all.

When I was at HMV I paid about £10 tax and £8 NI out of my measley £150 a week wage. Where I am now I pay £40 tax and £20 NI on a weekly paypacket of about £250. It doesn't seem to equate. My current tax code is 522L.

Muchly thankyous.

Pox fans should pay higher taxes in my book.

 Go to your local tax office....talk it through with someone.

Without looking up the real accurate figures - (alright, I did a bit)

Annual salary                    £13000
Personal Allowance               5220

Taxable                                 7780

I'd say you should have paid 10% on the first £2230   (£223)
and 22% on the remainder                                           (£1221)


total of  £1444 tax  or about £28 pw

National Insurance looks about right (11% of difference between £87 and £250)


Of course this will all depend on whether it's a full year, whether you tax code changed, and a whole host of other concerns. It's also based on 2007/2008 tax year. As you may well be aware the 10% and 22% rates have been replaced by a single 20% charge

On that basis, the £1444 charge becomes £1711, £33pw


Can't see where you would get a figure of £2000 overpayment from when you're only paying £2080 tax in the first place - NI is rarely calculated incorrectly for fairly ordinary employment situations

Hope that helps
