Company medical insurance
By: Mayhem007 Date: October 31, 2025, 11:02 am

I am pretty sure I will live the life of a retired person. I
resigned from my company 18th July 2025, after having worked for
the company 2 years and 1 day.
As result of being an old fart on state pension, every penny is
a prisoner. Going to make this as simple as possible.
Found out that HMRC were taxing me as having a medical insurance
benefit of £484 for 2025 and 2026. Through emails with HR, they
advised that I was taxed at income source. Managed to resolve
this with HMRC and expect to be reimbursed for paying tax on a
benefit that was already taxed at source.
So I checked my payslips and confirmed I was taxed at source,
whilst my colleagues benefits are £61+ a month for 2025 to 2026.
Mine are as follows.
April 2025 £148+
May 2025 £148+
June 2025 £148+
July 2025 £90+
I informed HR of the anomaly and her response was ludicrous.
Having gone into the mathematics of the medical benefits,
I find myself alienated with very little response from HR.
So I guess what I am inviting members advice on the steps I
should take in order for being reimbursed for extra tax that I
have paid at income source by the company.

As a probably older fart, I recall that when I was in a company
medical scheme the cost was over £200 a month.
Have you found out what the company was paying for your
insurance? You wouldn't have got a P11D for benefits you
received in 2025/26 tax year yet, so you might have to ask the
company or guess a larger number from your previous P11D.
My guess from your info is that the cost to the company was £148
per month, and they put this on your payslip as a notional
income so that the tax would due be deducted automatically.
The benefit of £484 as a presumably one off sum on your self
assessment was probably a guess by HMRC as to the annual cost
of your insurance. If you've paid tax on this, and also been
taxed at source on the original premium, you can get the tax
back from HMRC. As your employment has now ended, the company's
HR department cant make refunds.
Your colleagues benefit of £61 per month suggests he's younger,
not insuring a spouse and/or children or all 3.

Aardvark, you may have hit the nail on the head. I reached state
payment age in April and my colleague is 40 years my junior.

Aardvaark, just to let you know. You were spot on apparently my
medical benfit was raised from £61 to £1700+ when I reached
retirement age.
