Studying at college full-time living with parents, total earnings under the threshold and started working two jobs in september/november...

On emergency tax for majority of the year...
I got rebated something like £300, but i had paid more like £700 pounds tax and loads of N.I. I've called them up, and their processing for 08-09 tax...

Still a student full-time, no longer ememegcy tax. Total earnings for the year £5,500 ish... (under the threshold)...

I did pay tax when i did overtime (because occasionally was earning £200+ a week, while other times was only £70 ish)...

According to the tax man, it got reimbursed during the tax year).
Is this how it works, because i never got any reimbursement to my knowledge through the year?
(Keep in mind i never got my payslips most of the time)...

Secondly as i paid NI. Is their a threshold for NI in which i can get a rebate?
I.e do i still pay NI when my earnings were £5,500 for the year (under the personal allowance threshold). However some weeks i did earn £200+ while others where £70 touch.

Thanks
Thanks you very much Jim.

I do get payslips, it's just i have to wait for the manager to get them from the office when ever he gets a chance, which often means hanging around after i finish work (something i don't like to do lol).
 
NI contributions are not based on your annual pay, but are based on the pay you get in a pay period. If you exceed £97 per week in any pay period you will pay NI contributions on the excess in that period. Unlike tax, there is no rebate if you are paid less in the following period.
 
I often got refunds through payroll. It is actually illegal to work without payslips - you are entitled to a payslip. You can pay zero tax for low pay but there is no zero NI as it is basically insurance as opposed to simply income tax
