Martin Lewis fan gets £465 tax rebate with just one call – see how you can too

The MSE fan said she is "over the moon" to get a rebate after checking her tax code and making a simple phone call to the HMRC.

"Huge thanks for the tax code tip in last week's newsletter," she explained.

"Checked mine this morning and called HM Revenue & Customs thinking it didn't look quite right. 

"A £465 rebate's on its way. I'm over the moon." 

It's worth checking whether you are on the correct code, and therefore paying the right amount of tax.

Letters have been sent out from last month telling workers what their tax code is for the 2022/23 financial year.

The new tax year will start on April 6 2022 and will run until April 5 2023.

Some tax codes changed last year, so it's a good idea to make sure you understand what they mean - otherwise you could be out of pocket.

If you've recently moved jobs, not given your new workplace your P45 or filled in a starter checklist form, you might find you've been put on the wrong code.

When this happens, the tax office will automatically place you on the emergency tax code until you contact them, which is what one Martin Lewis fan decided to do.

We explain how to check your tax code - and what to do if you're on the wrong one.
