If will depend on your situation but if you have paid income tax to the UK government you can make a claim when you leave the UK for a refund on a proportion of that amount. You can make a claim by applying here.
How do I calculate my non resident tax rebate?
If you have worked in the UK you should have been given a P45 when you stopped working. The P45 will show how much you earned and how much you paid in tax during the year. Take these two amounts and input them into tax rebate calculator.

Artis: If you are leaving the UK you are entitled to claim a tax rebate. When you finish working you will be given a P45, when you have this you can apply for your tax rebate here. The amount of your tax rebate will depend on how much you have earned and how much you have paid in tax during each tax year you were in the UK.

If you live and work in the UK on a limited leave as a student for more than six years, what are the chances of getting tax refund and NI rebate especially when you leave the country? When I do the NI rebate application will it be applied retrospectively too?

Hi I wonder if you could please help me. I am South African and had a working/holiday visa for the UK and was there January 2009 – January 2011. I want to find out if I can and how I go about transferring my national insurance into a pension scheme either in South Africa or in the UK that I will eventually be able to claim. I had a NI number for the full two years that I was there.
Am I able to claim both years NI or only the last year? If I am able to transfer my pension I have to do it before the end of tax year, which is beginning of April?
An urgent response will be much appreciated.
THanks for your help
Kim

Hello,
I have worked on a post-study work visa in the UK from August 2009 to November 2010 and would like to apply for the National Insurance rebate for this periode. I have left permanently the UK in December 2010.Before leaving the UK I was told by an advisor from the HMRC that this was possible from abroad.Now that I have left, can I still apply for it ? I just want to make sure.
