Tax Code goes from 522L to BR HELP!!!?

I work at supermarket my tax code used to be 522L until i left for newer, higher paid job elsewhere. However im now back at supermarket but my tax code had changed to BR and all of a sudden im being taxed 22%, its ridiculous. I have worked out that for some reason my tax code means the IR isnt taking into effect my personal allowance of 拢5000 or w/e it is, so my emplyer has filled out a p46 and has sent it off, presumably to get my tax code changed to 522l again?

ALSO, does anyone know how long it will take for my tax code to change, and for me to get the rest of my unfairly taxed money back? I get paid in a week, so im guessing its going to be another 22% rip off this wage slip :(

PLEASE help, tell me your stories if the same, or if you know how long it will take for my money to come back.tax code to change?

I agree with Steve J - phone your tax office as soon as possible and if you know someone in your finance department who'll be available when you make the call that will be even better as they can confirm dates etc for you.

Also, you should have had a copy of your last P11'd by now - which the company you worked for at the 5th April 07 will have done for you and this will show what the Revenue and Customs people are basing your tax on.

If you haven't had this (not sure if you were at the new company or back at the supermarket on that date), you need to chase up a copy of it as it will help your claim.

Hope it all works out for you - it's a crappy time of year to be having money deducted from your salary that you could put to better use I'm sure.

Good luck to you

Call your local tax office, they will eventually sort it out, and yes you will get any refund money due to you, just not soon!
