Tax Checking Service: Have You Paid Too Much Income Tax?
It’s easier than you might think to pay too much tax. Whether you’ve changed jobs recently, worked multiple jobs, or only worked part of the year, it’s worth taking a closer look at your tax record. Our free tax health check service is here to do just that — helping individuals like you spot any overpaid Income Tax and guiding you through claiming it back.
We’re a friendly, professional team of tax experts who understand how the system works – and more importantly, how it sometimes doesn’t. If you’re unsure whether your tax code is right or you’ve had changes in your working circumstances, let us help.
Why You Might Have Overpaid Tax
Income Tax overpayments are more common than you might realise, especially if your work situation isn’t straightforward. You might have paid too much if:
- You started a new job and were given an emergency tax code at first
- Your employer used the wrong tax code, which HMRC didn’t catch
- You had more than one job at the same time – your income may have been incorrectly combined or taxed at too high a rate
- You only worked part of the year, but your tax was calculated as if you worked all 12 months
- You’re a student who only worked during the holidays but didn’t submit the correct forms (like form P38S)
- You stopped working part-way through the tax year, with no further taxable earnings or benefits
- Your savings or investment income decreased, but your tax code still assumes a higher level of income
- You received payments after leaving a job, such as redundancy pay or arrears of salary
- Your working pattern changed – for example, from full-time to part-time or moving into self-employment
If any of these situations sound familiar, our team can help identify if you’re due a tax refund – and make sure the process is handled smoothly and accurately.
