Yeah I think it's done at the year end in April ask your employer or phone the tax office and they should sort you out

Payroll should implement your tax code with the next months pay and that should sort it out - oops missed the SE bit. Yes it will be after the end if the tax year.

You will get it back in your rebate when you do your tax return in April.

I didn't know you could be an apprentice and be self employed, is it possible?

I hope they aren't paying you apprentice rates then

Joe I doubt that in between now and February you will earn over the £10K tax limit. All the tax you pay from now until then will be refundable. Please keep all your receipts for tools, expenses etc for the end of the tax year and get a cheap local accountant to do your books for this year. No point in paying £400 to an accountant to claim a £300 tax rebate!

Can't see how that is classed as an apprenticeship, sounds like slave labour

Joe I doubt that in between now and March you will earn over the £10,600 tax free limit. All the tax you pay from now until then will be refundable.

Corrected that for you
