Paid too much tax with PAYE?

If all your earnings are through PAYE employment you may not have to complete a tax return each year. If you left your job part way through the tax year or if your PAYE code is wrong you may have paid too much in tax for the year.

The simplest way to claim your refund is to complete form R40 and send it in to your tax office. This form can also be used if you have paid too much in NI contributions.
