How do I know
if I am due a tax rebate?
Depending on how much you have earned and how much you have paid
in tax you may be eligible for a tax rebate. If you have a P60 or
P45 you can check to see if you are due a refund by using your
tax rebate calculator.
Anyone that earns below the tax free
allowance, will be able to claim back all of their tax that they
have paid. If you have earned above this you will still be able
to make a claim.
There are a number of reasons why you
might be due a tax rebate, including (1) leaving the UK (2) working
while a student (3) Being on an emergency tax code.
How do I apply
for a tax rebate?
You can either apply yourself or you we can claim
your tax rebate for you. If you are applying yourself you will
need a number of forms, which you will need to send to the Inland
Revenue. These forms may include:
Be sure to include as much information
as you can. If you do not the Inland Revenue will delay your refund.
How long does it take to get my tax rebate?
Usually we receive refunds within 6-8 weeks. But depending on
which tax office you send your claim to, this will vary greatly
as some tax offices are experiencing greater back logs than others.
If the Inland Revenue receives your
claim and finds that you are missing any forms they will request
further information and this could increase the time to another
6-8 weeks.
We strongly recommend that you provide
as much information as you can with your claim.
Is
there a deadline for applying for tax rebates?
There is a 6 year deadline for applying for any tax rebates. We
recommend you apply as soon as possible so that you avoid the possibility
of your refund expiring.
