Tax Deductions ???

My 19yr old full time student daughter has a part time job at Tesco working 17 hours a week for the last 6 months. Now it's the new tax year they have stopped her emergency tax. Can anyone explain why and how or will she get it back. Thanks

Actually Tesco need to sort it out. I had this problem when working for an agency and racked up a 400 pound rebate in a few months because the idiots didn't get me to fill out the correct forms when I was registered. The employer should get the employee to fill out a form with relevant details that the employer passes to the tax office, they then know what to charge and tell the employer.

If the tax office do not have the information, they don't know if she has other jobs or any exemptions so defaults to assuming it's a second job for a normal working person and charges the full whack without taking into account the minimum threshold.

Tesco need to submit correct record and she needs to write to the tax people to ask for a refund. After a couple of months she should get a check

Thank you everyone, it's all sorted now. For some reason Tesco hadn't updated the new tax code, I rang the tax office, explained and they are sending my daughter and Tesco the new information.
