Yeah this is one of the things the UK actually gets right. If you end up overpaying for the year it ends up getting sent back to you automatically as a cheque or bank transfer about 6 months after the end of the tax year. Some people aren’t happy that you have to wait that long though e.g a year and a half if you overpay tax in the first month of the tax year.
