🗓 It’s a new tax year in the UK! 🇬🇧

As of April 6th, we’ve kicked off the 2024/25 tax year and now is a great time to consider if you’ve paid the right amount of income tax for the past tax year.

Income Tax for 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024 will be calculated over the coming months, usually between June and October.

Keep an eye on your posts and emails during this period - you may get that satisfying HMRC letter (P800) stating you paid too much and are due a refund!
The letter will also explain how to get your refund or pay any tax you owe.👀

But don’t sit around waiting - you can be proactive! If you think you overpaid income tax last year based on your records, you can kickstart the process by contacting HMRC directly.
