How can you check how much Income Tax you have paid in the current tax year?
You can use HMRC’s online services to check your tax affairs for the current tax year as long as you have a Government Gateway account.

You will be able to check the following:

• Your current tax code and Personal Allowance
• Any changes to your tax code
• An estimate of how much tax you will pay over the tax year
• An estimate of your income for the tax year.

You will also be able to update your employer or pension provider details as well as inform HMRC of any changes which may affect your tax code.

You can’t use this service if you only pay Income Tax through Self Assessment.

How can you check how much Income Tax you paid last year?
You can use HMRC’s online services to check how much Income Tax you paid in the previous tax year too. Their tax checker service also allows you to check previous tax years.

HMRC calculates everyone’s Income Tax for the previous tax year once that tax year has ended. This process happens between June and October and once they have checked they will send you a P800 letter. This letter will tell you whether you are entitled to a tax refund or whether you still have outstanding tax to pay.
