What is a tax rebate?

A tax rebate is when you are refunded tax which you have overpaid. There are a number of reasons why tax may have been overpaid, including:-

• you worked in more than one job at the same time
  
  
• your circumstances change, for example, you marry, form a civil partnership, reach retirement age or become a single parent
  
  
• HMRC sends the wrong tax code to your employer

• if you are self employed and HMRC made an assessment which was too high

• you are not a taxpayer, but have had tax deducted from your building society or bank interest.
