You may be entitled to a tax refund

Over 11,000 Police Officers in England & Wales have received tax refunds after getting their tax codes professionally checked by employment tax experts at The Tax Refund Company.

As an employee, HMRC makes it your responsibility to check they have given you the right tax code. It's not something an employer does or can do for you.

That means you either have to check it yourself if you understand the tax regulations, or arrange for a professional tax expert do it for you. Fortunately, HMRC gives you up to 4 years to do this so you can get back any tax you didn't need to pay in those years.
