I am pretty sure I will live the life of a retired person. I resigned from my company 18th July 2025, after having worked for the company 2 years and 1 day.
As result of being an old fart on state pension, every penny is a prisoner. Going to make this as simple as possible.
Found out that HMRC were taxing me as having a medical insurance benefit of £484 for 2025 and 2026. Through emails with HR, they advised that I was taxed at income source. Managed to resolve this with HMRC and expect to be reimbursed for paying tax on a benefit that was already taxed at source.
So I checked my payslips and confirmed I was taxed at source, whilst my colleagues benefits are £61+ a month for 2025 to 2026. Mine are as follows.
April 2025 £148+
May 2025 £148+
June 2025 £148+
July 2025 £90+
I informed HR of the anomaly and her response was ludicrous. Having gone into the mathematics of the medical benefits,
I find myself alienated with very little response from HR.
So I guess what I am inviting members advice on the steps I should take in order for being reimbursed for extra tax that I have paid at income source by the company.
