Should I pay taxes? Helppp

I’m a bit confused as I’m a teen, I’ve been working part time and been taxed? I’m above 18 but if I was working such little hours that it falls below the annual threshold how would I go about claiming that money back that has been taken? Can I claim that money that’s been taken back, and how?

What tax code have you been given? You won't be taxed if your annualised income falls below your personal allowance (based on the tax code), and if you do overpay tax - e.g. because you only work for 3 months, say - then HMRC will simply refund your overpaid tax some time after the end of the current tax year

Hi. This really is straight forward so don't worry.

First step is to make sure you have the documents that show how much tax you have paid and then call the HMRC helpline on 0300 200 3300
Your employer should be able to deal with it to be honest. Have you asked them to stop deducting tax?
Also check your payslip to make sure they haven't been deducting National Insurance Contributions and Pension Contributions as you're likely to be below the thresholds for those too.

Id guess you've been put on an emergency tax code... If so after a few weeks HMRC works out your real tax code and you automatically get a refund.

Thanks for the number, I’ll call them up. I’m not employed by them anymore. I did go on the website and they said if I haven’t been sent a letter stating I overpaid tax then I probably haven’t

Thank you! I’ve just checked, one employments payslip says L and the other (my longest job this year, for 6 months) says T.
