Ihave recently been offered a cut in hours or voluntary redundancy would i be eligable to a tax rebate if i take redundancy?

TaxFix - Thursday, May 27th, 2010

David: Possily, but you can only claim at the end of the tax year in April. It depends on how much you earn and how much you pay in tax. If you do not get a job for a while you may be due a refund.

I was made redundant in july but then started a new job in October am I still due a tax rebate?

TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Anonymous: It depends on how much you earned in total between 6th April 2009 and 5th April 2010 and the amount you paid in tax. You should be able to get this info from your P60 or P45. Once you have found out how much you have earned and paid in tax you can use our free tax rebate calculator to see if you are due a rebate.

Can my employer claim tax rebate on my behalf.

TaxFix - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Anonymous: Can you be a bit more specific? Do you mean can your employer sign your forms and write to the Inland Revenue pretending to be you?

JOHN - Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I have recently been sacked -3 june 2010 will I be eligable for any tax refund?

TaxFix - Thursday, June 10th, 2010

JOHN: It depends on how much you earn between the time you were sacked and the end of the tax year (April 5th 2011). At the end of the tax year you should check to see if you are due a tax rebate.

can i apply for a tax rebate if i am self employed? (worked 4 years in UK and now moving back to my country permanently). What forms i need and where can i get them from? Thank you.

TaxFix - Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Anonymous: If you are self employed you should be competing a tax return to let the Inland Revenue know about your earnings. When you complete a tax return any refund can be automatically calculated.

Thank you for your reply to the message sent on 20th July. I have paid all my taxes for all the years im in UK. Could i have a tax rebate though for all those years? or is it calculated for this half tax year left only?

TaxFix - Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Anonymous: It depends on if you have overpaid tax in those other years. You can check to see if you are due a tax rebate by inputting your pay and tax for each year into your tax calculator.

Claudia - Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I am on an emergency tax code. However the tax calculator says I am not due a tax rebate. Why do I have an emergeny tax code? I have had it for over 2 years and am getting worried I pay too much.

TaxFix - Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Claudia: Is this your only job? Your second job should normally be on an emergency tax code. What are you typing into the tax calculator?

Sandra - Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

In order to calculate my rebate, do I use my monthly pay slips or my yearly P60

TaxFix - Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Sandra: Your P60

alistair - Thursday, August 5th, 2010

I have been ill since December 2009 and for first three months received full wages then down to SSP I am still off ill am I entitled to a tax rebate for only working part of the year

TaxFix - Friday, August 6th, 2010

alistair: There is a good chance that you may be, it all depends on how much you earned in the last tax year and how much tax you paid. Were you given a P60 from your employer? If so you can check to see how much your tax refund would be here.

Peter - Monday, September 27th, 2010

I took Voluntary Redundancy in Aug ’09, then not worked until April ’10. I paid basic rate tax on the VR at the time and I have just filed my tax return (self assessment) and will be paying the remainder in Jan ’11. My query now relates to the fact that I have been offered re-employment by the same company but they require the VR to be paid in full (pre-tax) over 24months, which will be deducted from my Net wage. Will I be able to claim the tax back on the VR I have paid, as the co will be getting the Gross VR back?

TaxFix - Monday, November 8th, 2010

Tom - Thursday, November 18th, 2010

I have had 3 jobs this year (2010) and have been charged emergency tax when starting new jobs. However, I have not got my P45 or P60. Is there any other way I can claim.
Also, I would like to find out if i am due a rebate from previous years?…

TaxFix - Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Tom: If you do not have your P45 or P60, you can write to your employer that you were working for at the time and ask for a statement of earnings on company headed paper which will act as a replacement for a P60/P45. If you need help obtaining this we have a template letter you can use, just Email us on: template@taxfix.co.uk to receive a copy.

I’ve been working for the company for 2 years on tier1 post-study visa and have decided to leave the UK when my Visa expired. Would I be able to claim my TAX back?, if so, would it be only the recent TAX year or for the whole time I’ve been working?

TaxFix - Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Wsin333: If you’re leaving the united kingdom you can claim a tax rebate. When you stop working you will be given a P45, when you have this you can make your claim by applying here. The rebate is usually just for the year in which you are leaving. We may be due a tax rebate for other years (it will depend on how much you earned and paid in tax during those years). We will automatically check for other eligible years also.
