How Job Changes Affect Your Taxes
Changing jobs can significantly impact your tax situation. When you switch employers, your tax code may not immediately reflect your new circumstances, leading to overpayments. Additionally, if there’s a gap between your jobs or you’ve received redundancy pay, you might have paid more tax than necessary. Understanding how job changes affect your taxes is crucial for identifying potential overpayments and claiming a rebate.
Checking Your Tax Code
After changing jobs, it’s important to check your tax code to ensure it’s correct. Your tax code determines how much tax is deducted from your salary, and an incorrect code can result in overpayments. For example, if you’ve been placed on an emergency tax code, you may have been taxed at a higher rate than necessary. By reviewing your tax code and updating HMRC with your new employment details, you can prevent further overpayments and potentially claim a rebate.

Avoiding Future Overpayments
