So say you work 2 months into the tax year earning £5k (assuming you have the full personal allowance of around £5k) your earnings are covered by the allowance and you have no (income) tax liability. Your payroll will have deducted tax as it assumes you will continue to earn £2.5k per mth for the rest if the yr, thus you will be owed some money back from HMRC

depends - we have waited around long enough and things are still on track for moving out of house in Feb and it would be too much hassle to rent etc just to make use of next tax yr allowance.
If timing works out it can be useful to earn £5k tax free or bit more with v little tax, and how desperate you are for the money. But the later could mean there is always something on the horizon to stay for.
