I am a Non UK national working in England. Can I claim a tax rebate?
As a Non UK national there are a number of reasons why you might be due a tax rebate. For example:

emergency tax code
Leaving the UK part way through the tax year
Not having a P60 or P45
Changing employers

If you think you might be due a tax refund you can call free on 0800 955 2829 to discuss your situation further.

How can I calculate my tax rebate?
Every April, when the tax year finishes, you should be given a P60. Alternatively when you finish working for your employer, they should provide you with a P45.

Simply take the ‘Gross pay’ figure from the P45 or P60 and type this number into our tax rebate calculator . Do the same for the ‘total tax paid’ and then press on ‘Calculate’. The tax calculator will give you an estimate of the tax refund you will be due.

What if I do not have a P60?
If you do not have a P60 or P45 you can still check and claim a tax rebate from the UK government. You need to ask your employer for a statement of earnings on company headed paper. This will show how much you have earned and how much you have paid in tax and it is a sufficient replacement for a P60 or P45. If you like, we can get a maximum of two copies for you if you would like us to claim your tax rebate on your behalf.

How many years can I claim a tax rebate for?
You can claim for a maximum of 6 years. So if you worked in the UK any time in the last 6 years you can still make a claim.

How do I apply for my Non UK national tax refund?
You can either make a claim yourself or you can use a tax refund agent. A tax refund agent can obtain all the information required on your behalf. If however if you are claiming the refund yourself, you will need:

Any P45’s
Any P60’s
A P91 – Employment History form
P85/P86 – Leaving/Entering the UK forms
Covering Letter

Can I apply for a National Insurance rebate too?
If you are a Non UK national working in the UK but are a resident of the UK you can claim a portion of your national insurance contributions back. To apply and to learn more about this you can view the following page about: claiming a national insurance rebate.
