my company sent me to work in bangladesh for a year and a half and I have only been back to the uk once at christmas for a holiday and I have been payed my normal wages and tax as previous years , my company did not bother to find out if I am due any tax benefits or rebates but surley I am due some rebate for the years I have not been living here. The term I was to serve was not fixed so I did not apply for any ex pat status, pls can you tell me if I am entitled to any rebate for the time I have served abroad.
