You've overpaid by £80 and are eligible for a refund
If you've overpaid:
Apply for a refund through the SLC website. There's no time limit, but it's better to claim promptly. You'll need your P60/P45 documents and the process takes 4-6 weeks.
If you've underpaid:
You may need to complete Self Assessment if the underpayment is significant. Payment is due by 31 January. Alternatively, you can make voluntary payments directly to SLC.
For future years:
Keep SLC informed of employment changes, check payslips regularly, and consider the reconciliation calculator each year to avoid surprises.
Use the official SLC website to apply for refunds or make additional payments. Keep your P60/P45 documents safe for verification.
