Tax refund
 

How do I go about getting a tax refund without paying someone to do it for me. Or can someone tell me where I can find the forms.

And what other forms do I need to fill in before I go.

I'm really not good at any of this :o :(

Fill out form P85 and send it to your local tax office :)

Tax is complicated wherever you are.

They make it that way so you don't know when they are ripping you off ;)

Thanks Wendy C, you are a fountain of knowledge.

What would we do without you?!? :D

You'd all be staying in the UK that's what :D


It's true though isn't it. Tax and pensions, designed to confuse so you haven't a bloody clue about where your money is going :rolleyes:

I think you also need to send your P45. So get onto your employer's payroll department, as sometimes they can take a while unless you push.

well yes, it's a lot easier if you do that, otherwise they have to search all you records which will take a lot longer :)

Re: Tax refund
 

Yeah, and your P63 from the previous tax year - though what that has to do with it I have no idea :confused:

Don't expect them to be speedy either! :zzz:

I've just received a refund for earnings in the 2005 to 2006 tax year. I left the UK in July 2005 so essentially it took 14 months to come through.

YIKES that's a long time!

glad you got it in the end though!!

Re: Tax refund
 

yes but I didn't push it - to be honest I'd written it off. So this came through completely unexpectedly.

R85 and back two sheets of your P45 to local tax office.

Mine took 6 weeks, the wife's took 2 :confused:

Tax refund in the UK is easy as! Please don't pay an agent to do it unless you have complicated affairs. I filled it in as I am now not working till I go to Oz in 2 weeks and I got my juicy cheque for £980 back within 7 weeks for the 2006/2007 tax year. That's paid for my flight and shipping, thank you kindly Mr HMRC
