Can you find out why they are not issuing your refund, maybe you are missing some document or something?

what if I get a tax refund on leaving UK for good but I decide to come back later to the UK someday? Will that affect my future in UK in any way?

TaxFix - Friday, June 4th, 2010

John: Claiming a tax refund does not affect your eligibility to live or work in the UK. The reason you can claim a tax refund is because everyone that works in the UK is given a tax free allowance each year, if you leave part way through the year, you do not get that full allowance which you are entitled to and so can therefore claim tax back.

Hi,
I lived and worked in Uk for 2 years and i left the country the last 5th of February. Last June I applied to claim my tax back and on the form to fill I answered “Yes” to the question about my intention to live outside Uk permanentely.
Now, while still waiting to get the tax refund, I changed my mind and i would like to go back there and start living and working again.
Will my answer affect this opportunity to me?
Ps. I was trying to find an email address on the hm revenue website, but it wasn’t that clear where I should send my query….
Many thanks

I have worked out the tax rebate calculator for 2009/2010 tax rebate, it shows zero. Does that mean I can’t claim my tax back?

I failed to trace my P60 for the last 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. What other alternative document I can use to replace my P60 if my previous employer is not willing to provide me with a copy of my statement of earning? Can I use my payslips?

Hi. This situation with the tax refund is a bit confusing and maybee you’ll be able to clarify it to me. Both me and my husband are portuguese and we’ve been in England near 5 years now. We are now leaving England for good at the end of year. If both of us won’t benefit anything from the money we’ve been paying once we won’t be here when we retire shouldn’t we be entitled to have a tax refund from all the years we’ve been here? Can you explain me how to apply and how this tax refund will be calculated? Is it going to be based in what? The current year or all the years we’ve been making discounts? Can you help here? Many thanks in advance.

Arcanjo: If you are leaving the UK you can claim a tax refund as you will not have worked a full tax year. You may be eligible for a tax refund in other years also, it will depend on how much you earned and how much you paid in tax. When you and your husband finish working you should be given a P45. When you have your P45, you can claim your tax rebate here.

Arcanjo: If you leave the UK you are entitled to claim a tax refund. The refund will be based on the amount that you have earned and the amount that you have paid in tax. Most people who leave the UK do not work a full tax year and so therefore claim for this overpayment. You may be eligible for a tax rebate for previous years, depending on your income and tax paid in each year. We can check these years for you if you would like to claim a tax rebate with us.

I had a few jobs here, and second jobs as well. How do I need to check if I am eligible for tax rebate for previous years? Do I need to check P45 for each employment or P60 for every year? Or have you got a phone number which I can call?Many thanks for your advise!

TaxFix - Monday, September 20th, 2010

Laura: Your tax refund would have been based on your income and tax paid for the year assuming that you were not going to earn anymore during the fiscal year. If you intended to return to the UK before the end of the tax year you will need to pay tax on these earnings without a personal allowance.

TaxFix - Monday, September 20th, 2010

Katalin: Your eligibility for a tax rebate for previous years depends on how much you earned and how much you paid in tax during each of those years. You can use your P60′s to tell you how much you earned and how much you paid in tax during the year as well as our tax rebate calculator.

TaxFix - Monday, October 18th, 2010

Denise: You can claim back any overpayment of tax for the years that you have worked in the UK. If you have been working for the same employer and havn’t stopped working part way through the tax year it is less likely you will be due a rebate. You can check using our tax rebate calculator. You can still claim your tax back while still in the country for previous years but not the current year.

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure if I get it right.You are saying that I can claim my tax overpayment, but i actually want to claim all my tax that I have ever paid in more than 3 years. I have finished with my old employers and have P-45 for those years. The question is can I do that eventough still staying and working in the UK? I was in our local Inland Revenue office and they said that I can’t claim ma full tax that I have paid, only tax overpayment. On the other hand you are saying that I can claim ma tax back, but to make it clear, did you mean I can claim ma full tax for previous years or only overpayment tax? If I was to leave the UK is it different?
Thank you very much

TaxFix - Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Denise: Yes you can only claim the overpayment of tax. If you leave the UK you are almost certain to overpay, so it is likely you will be due a rebate.

Thank you, OK so I understand it more now. So while I am still staying here I can only claim tax overpayment and once I leave the UK I can claim tax rabate, does it mean all tax that I ever paid? Last year my sister left the UK and she claimed all her tax that she paid here I don’t know what that was I assume it was tax rabate as she got back her all tax. do you know how many years back I can claim? Thank you

victoria: Yes you can, do you still have the P45 from your employer. If so you can apply here.

TaxFix - Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Denise: If you leave the UK you will overpay tax because you will not receive your full allowance, and because of this you can make a claim. You may be able to claim all your tax back if you have earned below the tax free allowance (currently £6,475). The tax year starts on April 6th. If you sister maybe left the UK in say May or June and didn’t earn over the tax free allowance, she could have claimed all her tax back. Does that make sense?

marlene: Unfortunately the deadline to claim a tax refund from 2002 has expired.

TaxFix - Monday, November 15th, 2010

alend alan: Yes you can still make a claim. You will need to write to your employers and ask for a ‘statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. This can be used as a replacement for a P45 or P60.

Hi,
I am in a dependant visa and worked for a month in 09. I have got my tax rebate. But i just heard for a colleague that since i am not a UK citizen, I will have problems when i try to extend my visa or apply for indefinite stay in UK. I am really worried because i dont want to have any problems when i extend my visa because of my tax rebate. What shall i do? please help. And When i filled the tax forms,one of the questions was will i live in the UK forever or not. I said No since my visa expires in 2 years time. But now i am worried that when i extend my visa after 2 years, what if the visa officer asks me that when i said no for the question will you live in the UK permanently in the tax form then why am i extending my visa now.I am so worried. I have got the tax money but I dont want to have any problems when i extend my visa because of my tax rebate.Please guide me. Please tell me what to do.

TaxFix - Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Anonymous: You don’t need to worry. You are entitled to claim a tax rebate. All a tax rebate is, is a claim on an overpayment of tax. Everyone has a right to do this, if you are staying in the UK or not, and doing so will not affect your visa at all.

Anonymous - Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Thanks for the reply. I am on a dependant visa and I cant have any benefits. Does tax repayment come under benefits?

TaxFix - Friday, November 26th, 2010

Anonymous: A tax rebate is not a benefit. You are simply claiming back tax that you may have overpaid, for example, for being on the wrong tax code or your employer deducting too much tax.

Can I claim Tax back when Jobcentre will transfer my jobseeker Alowance to my country? So I don’t have P45 form , but I want to leave the UK.

angra - Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Hi, I’m a foreigner but I’ve been working here since 2009 and will be leaving the UK permanently to get back to my country in Jan 2011,So as far as I understand by reading through your website, I can only claim back the overpaid TAX during each TAX year, is that correct? for example, if I didn’t overpay TAX in year 2009/2010, Does that mean I could only claim back for part of the year 2010/2011?

TaxFix - Friday, December 10th, 2010

angra: Yes that is correct.

tara - Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

I’m Australian with a right of abode, in 2008 i left the UK to work abroad and thought it was permanent so i claimed most of my tax back. Meeting my boyfriend overseas prompted a move back to teh UK 6 months later. I was then employed in the UK for all of 2009 – would i owe the tax dept now?

Peter - Sunday, January 9th, 2011

How they do the payment of the claim tax? because i`ll apply now and leave the country in 2 weeks.

hamad khan - Sunday, January 9th, 2011

i am intending to leave uk by end of march. i have been doing job for the whole tax year and consumed my personal allowance of income tax and NIC.i wanted to ask if im leaving uk permenantly can i claim back my nic for the whole year irrespective of consuming the whole allwance.

TaxFix - Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

hamad khan: The amount of your refund will depend on how much you have earned and how much you have paid in tax during the tax year that you are leaving the UK. Once you stop working you’ll be provided with a P45, when you’ve got this you can make your claim by applying here

TaxFix - Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Peter: if you are leaving the uk 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

antonio - Thursday, January 20th, 2011

hi
on february 2009 i started on two part-time jobs.
then on the 1st of may of the same year i started on a full time job,keeping the other two as well.
i stayed on that job for 7 months earning on total 7842.16pounds from which i deducted 1568.40pounds.
the doubt that i have is if i deducted so much money without claiming any back,due to the fact that on the other two part-time jobs i didn´t make any deductions because i was only working a couple of hours on each.
shouldn´t i be untitled to claim somo of that money back(from the full time job)?
thank you

My daughter is living in the UK and will return next year after 7+ years. Can she claim back her National Insurance component of tax paid while working there?

Michal Zahradnik - Monday, January 24th, 2011

Hello, I will be leaqving the UK shortly, after 5 and 1/2 year. Can I apply for the tax rebate for the whole period and how? thank you

TaxFix - Friday, January 28th, 2011

Michal Zahradnik: You can only apply for years that you have overpaid. Usually this happens in the year that you leave the UK but it could have happened in other years too. When you stop working you will be given a P45, when you have this you can make your claim here.

TaxFix - Friday, January 28th, 2011

Hi There,
I have been asked by a friend to help him lodge his Australian tax return for 2010. He left the UK at the end of October 2009 and has given me his statement of earnings for the 2009/10 tax year. He is entitled to a tax refund from the UK. Can he claim this in his Australian tax return or does it need to be from the Inland Revenue?

TaxFix - Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Hello. Can i make tax return for last 6 years when i leaving permanently if I have P60 (for last tax year) and P45 from last employer. All others P60′s/P45′s was lost.
thank you

TaxFix - Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

Eric: When you stop working you should be given a P45. If you have this you can make a claim. If you are missing some P45/P60s we can get a replacement if needed. You can apply for your tax rebate here.

TaxFix - Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

Anthony Flower: Yes you can apply for a tax refund, but as you will not have been given a P45 you will need to wait until the end of the tax year (April 5th) when you will be given a P60, then you can claim a tax refund by applying here.

Hi there. I intend to leave UK permanently. I am not a British Citizen. I have been working for the last 17 years and have all P60s from previous years. In April I am expecting new P60 from current Employer. Can I use that instead of P45 ? I would like backdated payment on behalf of Tax Refund for as many years as possible. How many years would be acceptable by Tax Office ? What are my chances ? Cheers. Mika

TaxFix - Friday, March 11th, 2011

Mika: You are only given a P45 if you stop working. If you are going to stop working and leave the UK, you should be given a P45 which we would need to claim back your tax refund.

Mika - Saturday, March 12th, 2011

Ok, that is fine. I would like backdated payment on behalf of Tax Refund for as many years as possible. How many years would be acceptable by Tax Office in your opinion ? Thanks. Cheers. Mika

I have been working in the uk for 7 years. I`m now thinking about going back to my country, however i have paid tax all those years. Is it possible to transfer my tax payments to my country of origin? I don`t mean making a tax rebate claim but make a full tax tranfer from one country to the other.
My doubt comes from the fact the people i know have told me i can do so, but would not be able to come back here to work within the next 6 years.

If I am in the UK on an ancestral visa, am I eligible for a tax refund at the end of each tax year? How does the tax refund work if you are intending on staying for the full 5 years and then applying for citizenship? Does claiming your tax back affect your citizenship application?

I have been working in the UK for 1.5 years on a post graduate visa and will be moving back to my home country permanently in a few months, can I claim back any tax? I’m on a monthly salary of about £2000, paying a monthly tax of about £400, how much will I be able to claim back? Thank you.

sean - Thursday, August 25th, 2011

I have been told that all the tax that i have paid over the past 6 years to inland revenue i can get back once i have made the desition to leave the UK and not to return

Tax Fix - Thursday, August 25th, 2011

@Sean

No, that is not correct. If you have earned money that is subject to UK tax then you will have had to pay tax on this money.

If you leave the UK part way through a tax year then you may be entitled to a rebate if you have paid too much tax during that period alone.

Tax Fix - Thursday, August 25th, 2011

@chin

When you are about to leave the UK you should tell HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

If you’re not required to fill in a tax return, you’ll have to complete form P85 called “Leaving the UK – getting your tax right”.

HMRC will use the information on the form to send you any tax refund you’re owed and work out if you’ll become non-resident.

Enclose parts 2 and 3 of your P45 (if you have one) as you won’t get a tax refund without them.

Good Morning,

I am writing to you From Tunisia.

I had lived and worked in the UK for many years, where I have paid NI contributions.

Since 1999, I moved to live in Tunisia where I am working now.

I am 50 years Old, I know the age of retirement is not reached yet, but I would like to inquiry, about the whole years I did work in the UK , because here to be eligeable for the pension I need to have worked for 30 years. But in 10 years time, where I am supposed to retire, I will be working only 23 years in Tunisia.

What will happen to those years I did work and paid NI contribution while I was in the UK.

I appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Best regards,

MR. Khaled Dhouib

NB: If you require any more information please let me know.

Sanjog - Saturday, October 1st, 2011

Hi,I am Sanjog.I used to work for construction company where they said we have to fill up our form ourselves as self employed. later that year i was short of money so i called my accountant and talk abt this matter and thought of claiming tax (not NI)and we both agreed as he said it wouldn’t restrict me from apply for british citizen ship. Now what i hear is that once you claim your tazes you wouldn’t be able to apply for british tax. Is this true ?

Hi, I’m intending to leave UK for good some time in 2012-13 and go back home-EEA country. Ever since I came to the UK I was working,paying taxes,NIN and never claimed any benefits or JSA.this dates back to 2004, but I received tax refund from the first 2 years(certian amount).

Now I know I can claim the tax refund from the final year after producing the P45, my question is whether I can claim any JSA from the UK when returning back home while looking for a job,as I have some information that my country is not going to pay the JSA and it has to be the country I was contributing the taxes to.

And also will the amount of JSA going to be calculated according to the lenght of time worked permanently in the UK and the amount of taxes paid in all those years 2004-2012,13?

apologies for such a long message.
thank you

Hi I have move to France to live with my husband 2 years ago and leavethe Uk for good…I have not informed to the island Revenue as everything was suddenly quick
The last year, in my previous place i have been informe that letter has arrived saying that i had pay to little tax for 2008, 2009 and i should pay otherwise will affect my pension…
So then from France I sent the p45 in order to let them know that long ago i have left the country and claiming some tax rebate for the 4 year i was working….
Happy and hoping that i might will be receiving some tax back , on the contrary they are charging me to pay tax back…
I dont understand why i should pay for this tax , i was not my fault that they do not charge me the right tax when i was there working…and also i left the country no planning to come back, so no entitle to any pension or sth…i tought i should be the one who will be receiving some of tax i have paid…what shall i do, what can happen to me if I dont pay…i cannot pay as i am a mum now.
Thanks
