Tax Rebates

I started a part time job in November 07, and as they've been taking tax off me since then (unnecessarily, I might add!) I'm being sent a P46 to fill in and send back. I know that payroll then send it to the tax office to inform them of my rebate, but how long generally does it take? Will it take ages to get my rebate, or are they quite quick with this sort of thing? Any ideas?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Claiming tax back
I wouldn't be so confident myself
It all depends on the individual - it's not always as straightforward as sending in a P46 and then getting a rebate. If the tax office gets your P46and can see there are no gaps in your employment history, then a cumulative tax code can be issued which will enable the payroll dept to refund overpaid in year tax via your wages. If there are large gaps then further investigations will have to be done and this can take months. HMRC aim to turn round post within 15 days of receipt but they can take up to 40.
Ilora - what were you doing pre Nov 07? I would expect a P91 form in the post from HMRC to complete, especially if you were not working or being a full time non working student.
Err no me neither
Trouble is your so close to the end of the tax year, its unlikely you're gonna get it back through your wages
