Once the tax office updates your code, your employer will get a notice. This usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks. Then, your future paychecks will be normal again—no more having half your salary vanish. Hooray!
But what about the money you already lost? That’s the best part. The tax office will automatically refund the overpaid tax. How? They’ll either put it into your next paycheck or send you a direct bank transfer or a check in the mail. It usually happens within 30 days, but sometimes it’s faster.
Imagine your next paycheck being suddenly fatter. That’s your tax refund doing a happy dance. You can buy that celebratory coffee double-sized now.
