At the start of April ask your employer for a P60. This details your earnings and tax payments for the year and thye are legally obliged to give it to you, although virtually none do unless you ask. Send your P60 off to the Inland Revenue and they will calculate the amount you have over-payed and send you a cheque. If you need any info just ask someone in your payroll department.
The first £4500 you earn each year you pay no tax on, and then the next grand or so you only pay 10%. Most people don't know this though, or that they're entitled to money back, so the government keeps their money.
It isn't always true that people have paid too much, but most of the time it happens. can you not just skip all of that hassle by sitting around and doing nothing? then one day you get a surprise cheque through the post?

Usually about £1700 a month before tax. Varies due to overtime.

I'm a cricket coach. So works obviously restricted to the summer, but I can't think of many better jobs (for a student). I'll probably get about £1100 from about 110 hours work this summer. Could do mor if I wanted, but I'd rather spend time doing other things.

Doing something you enjoy, and earning a very decent wage for it is a dream, would love to coach football or any sport for that matter for any kind of wage! Unfortunately, I'm the one that needs coaching....

I've probably earnt about £7000 since last April so they'd better give me some money back the bunch of homogators If you've only earned £7,000 (gross) since 6 April 2004 - you should have only paid income tax for the year of £253 so you can claim the rest back! It'll give you your total gross earnings and tax paid in your March wage slip so you don't have to wait for your P60 cos your employer doesn't have to give you that 'til 19 May. You need to complete this form and send it to your tax office after 5 April(you don't need to send any wage slips or p60 with it cos the Inland Revenue already know how much tax you've paid) http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/forms/r40.pdfYou can find out what tax office you are by the three digit number that is on your wageslip before the tax reference you can find the address here: http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/local/individuals/index.htm
