Thousands of NHS staff may have paid too much tax

Thousands of NHS staff may have paid too much tax Thousands of NHS workers could have overpaid thousands in income tax and National Insurance, the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme understands.

The error, which dates back to 1999, applies to certain NHS employees who did Widening Access Training (WAT).

Some workers have received rebates of up to £24,000, but others complain they have struggled to get any response from tax authority HMRC or their NHS trust.

HMRC said it was working closely with NHS trusts to get refunds paid. BBC News
