Well then yes if that's less than your personal allowance, you are due it back.

Contact the tax office (HMRC Contact us) and they'll arrange for you to be repaid.

Thank you for your help Vallah I'll contact them now.

Hi folks, I have been working on my current contract for 4 weeks under an umbrella company. Prior to that I did not work at all in the 2010 – 2011 tax year. I have earned less than my tax code allowance, will I be able to claim a tax rebate ? If so do I or the umbrella company apply for it ?

Unfortunately you can't claim a rebate for tax that you haven't paid out.
