Yes, HMRC does refund overpaid tax, sometimes automatically and sometimes through the refund application process. You receive a P tax notice, which tells you the result of this calculation. Other things, like work expenses and business allowances, are never refunded automatically. So in short, make a overpaid tax claim for everything you legally can. You need to use the tax calculation self assessment system , which is quite different from the PAYE tax system.

I applied online for a refund at the beginning of February for a sum shown on my tax account as being due. No response so 6 weeks later I wrote chasing the refund. No response after three weeks so I wrote again.
A further two weeks have passed and no response. I do appreciate that the pandemic is putting added stress on all organisations but one would hope that a claim could be processed within 16 weeks. I find myself thinking that the only alternative will be to initiate a formal complaint process which seem to be a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

I was subsequently then asked to pay quite a large sum broken into monthly payments in income tax in France.
I have subsequently applied to have the tax paid on this pension taken at source repaid. The final paperwork for compliance got through over a month ago.
I spoke to someone in the tax office a couple of weeks ago. I was assured it would be dealt with by mid July. I called again on Friday and was told it would be September 21st before it is looked at.
