If you leave the country you are entitled to claim a tax refund for any overpayment of tax that you might have made.
You can claim your tax refund by going to:
The amount that you can claim back will depend on the amount you earned and the amount you paid in each tax year.
The longest you can claim a tax refund for is 6 years, but these deadlines are changing and we suggest that you do not wait this long.
Regarding national insurance. You can make a claim to contract out of National Insurance. This means that a portion of your NI payments will be put into a private pension. You can only do this while you are working and living in the UK, and this can not be done for previous years. You can learn more, and apply at the following link:
