Martin Lewis has warned people to check their payslips for an 'X'. If you spot it, the money guru said there is a chance you are on the wrong tax code.
The founder of Money Saving Expert made the warning as he appeared on his ITV Money Show Live. He answered a question from viewer Tina, who said she had been overtaxed and wanted to know if she was entitled to a rebate. She 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."
The caller added: “My tax code is now back to 1257L, but I’m short £500, worrying about money. Will I get a tax rebate?” Luckily for her, tax expert Rebecca Benneyworth was on the show, reports the Echo.
