The Mirror has compiled a list of seven things you should check before midnight if you don't want to risk losing thousands.
1. Check your tax code
Tax codes are used by your employer or pension provider to work out how much tax is taken from your pay or pension. But millions of workers are put on the wrong tax code each year - and could potentially be owed thousands of pounds.
The most common code for the current tax year is 1257L for people who have one job or pension - although not everyone will be on this. You can check your latest payslip to see your tax code, or on your P45 if you have recently quit your job.
The Gov.uk website has a dedicated webpage where you can see your tax code as well - to check it online, you will need to register for a government gateway ID. MoneySavingExpert then has a free tax code calculator that you can use to get a rough idea as to whether yours is correct.
No tax calculator will be able to tell you for definite if you are on the right code - but this should give you a good indication. If you believe your tax code is wrong, you can contact HMRC and ask them to investigate by calling 0300 200 3300.
You can go back as far as four tax years, so you only have until the end of today to claim for the 2017/2018 tax year. From tomorrow onwards, you will only be able to go back as far as the 2018/2019 tax
