This a question that will affect a lot of people who have been job hunting since being made redundant....
I recieved a letter today from the Inland Revenue, with my tax code for whilst I was out of work and claiming JSA
In the letter they stated what my allowances are and also that the allowance is divided throughout the year. Does this mean that I will be able to claim back some of the tax for this tax year? So far I have been out of work for 3 months and recieved 1 months redundancy pay which I was taxed on.
I would like to know if I can claim some tax back and if so when and how?
Many thanks!
Can we claim back Tax if so how?

I was under the impression that redundancy payments were usually tax free?
If I was you, I would speak with HMRC and take their advice.

I've been watching. They're not based in the UK but advertising a UK site. They're not selling it very well though if this is what these posts are trying to do.
