If your earnings fall or stop part way through the tax year (from 6 April to 5 April the following year), you may have paid too much income tax on your earnings, savings or other income. If this is the case, you may be able to claim a tax rebate (when you’ve paid too much tax and get some back). You don't have to wait until the end of the tax year to do this.
To check whether you’re due a tax rebate, contact HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
If you have problems making a tax rebate claim and your income is low, you can request free help from TaxAid or, if you are aged 60 or older, Tax Help for Older People.
