Martin Lewis has warned workers with an ‘X’ on their payslips to ensure they are on the right tax code. On his ITV Money Show Live, the finance expert answered a question from viewer Tina, who said she had been overtaxed and wanted to know if she was entitled to a tax rebate.
As reported by the Mirror, Tina said: “I’m on a 16 hour contract, and last month I did lots of overtime. I was put on the basic rate temporarily and overtaxed by more than £800.
“My tax code is now back to 1257L, but I’m short £500, worrying about money. Will I get a tax rebate?” Martin directed the question to tax expert Rebecca Benneyworth, who said: “It depends whether she’s on a Month One tax code or not. Month One is often referred to as Emergency Code.
