Whats your tax code ? your probably paying "emergency" tax.
I think your code should be 489L (I'm presuming your single) if its different to this, you need to find out which is your tax office and ring them. They should be able to explain why you are paying what you are and sort it for you. You will get it back if you are paying to much. |

forget about it for a while, and just pretend it isn't happening. then in a few years time claim it all back at once and treat yourself to a new bike

You are currently allowed to earn £4,895 per year tax free, which equates to approx. £408 per month, so you shouldn't have to pay any tax. Speak nicely to your employer to get your tax codes updated. You have up to 5 years to cliam it back
Here's a link that explains it http://www.direct.gov.uk/MoneyTaxAnd...566&chk=U5MTGt cheers |

so asuming you stick at this job for 5 years without claiming your cash back, and you work the same hours, with the same pay. in 5 years time you can claim over £15000 back. try asking if they will give ya interest on it

I got £400 cash back due to this sort of mistake before. As people say, it's a low risk, low interest savings account
