Who
is eligible to claim a tax refund?
Depending on your circumstances you may be eligible to claim a tax
refund. For example:
- If you plan
on leaving the UK
- If you work
while studying
- If you are
on an emergency tax code
- If you are
taking a gap year.
How
can I calculate my tax refund eligibility?
If you earn below the tax free allowance (6,475 pounds in 2009/2010
tax year) you will be eligible to claim back any tax that you have
paid. If you have earned more, you can check to see how much you
can claim by inputting your total income for the tax year as well
as the total income tax paid into our tax
refund calculator.
How do I claim my tax rebate?
You can either submit a claim with the Inland Revenue yourself
or you can use a tax refund
agent to apply for you on your behalf. If you are submitting
the claim yourself, you will need to collect all of your P60s/P45s
as well as a P91 and a P85/P86 if applicable. You will also need
a cover letter to send to your local tax office. A tax refund agent
can obtain all of this for you if you do not want the stress of
dealing with the Inland Revenue.
What if I have lost my P60 or P45
You should be given a P45 or a P60 from your employer. If you were
not or have lost the one that was given, simply ask your employers
payroll department for a 'statement of earnings' on headed paper.
This will contain all the pay and tax information and can be used
as a substitute for a P60 or P45 when claiming a tax rebate.
