Question about the tax I pay on my salary every month ?

I am french (sorry for my english by the way) and I work in England for 6 months. But I just discovered I pay too much taxes every month (24% of my salary). So I asked my employer to fil the P45 to deal with that. Once it will be done, do you think I'll be paid back for the over taxes I paid and how much taxes I will pay (my taxable salary is 1800 pounds)?

Thank you very much.

As you have come from abroad, you will also need to complete a form P86. You cna download and complete this form from www.hmrc.gov.uk. Sent the form to the tax office which deals with your employer (ask your employer for the name, address and reference number of the office and make sure you show your National INsurance Number on the form).
If you started work before 6 April this year, it looks as if you will get all the tax back which you paid up to 5th April (the end of the last tax year). The tax overpaid since 6th April will be refunded by your employer.
The tax you should pay on 拢1800 gross is about 拢290. Source(s): Ex Inspector of Taxes

It sounds like you have not yet been issued with a tax code which would tell your employers how much of your income should be tax free. as a consequence you are being taxed on everything. Once a code is issued you should get a rebate.

Tax allowances and rates attached.

i think you mean a P46 form to notify the Inland Revenue that you have started work with your employer.

yes once the Revenue have processed your form you will be issued with a tax code, usually 522L which means the first 拢5225 you earn in the year will be tax free. anything over this will be taxed at the relevant rate.

once your employer has received notification of your tax code you will get the over paid tax back on the next payday.

Once your code number is sorted out any overpayment made since 5th April this year will be adjusted by your employer.

The earlier period will have to be dealt with by the tax office. Their address will be on the copy of the code number sent to you and you should conttact them giving details of earnings and deductions up to 5th April.

On your gross pay of 拢1,800 you should be paying tax of about 拢278 together with national insurance of 拢150. The total deductions are 拢458 which is slightly over 25% of your gross.
