Who Can Claim a Tax Refund?

It all depends on your working circumstances, how long you’ve worked and of course how much tax you’ve paid. There are certain scenarios where you are likely to be able to claim a tax refund.

If you are working part time or have worked for only a certain period of the year you could possibly be due a tax refund because even though you may in a given month earn more than the taxable threshold amount you might not be earning more than the annual threshold.

People who are planning on leaving the UK are also likely to be able to claim a tax refund, as well as a national insurance refund. Also, many people start work on an emergency tax code which means you pay a flat tax rate which could be higher than you should be paying.

What Information Is Needed To Evaluate My Refund?

P45, P60 and P11d, (if you received any benefits from employment), documents are the most important documents you will need and you would need original copies of these. Remember that you will need a P45 (the end-of-employment tax statement) for every job you have had in the past year. A P60 will be issues to you if you were employed at the end of a tax year, which is on the 5^th of April.

You may run into some difficulty if you have lost your P45 and P60 documents, so it is important that you keep these. It is possible to request a statement from your previous employer detailing what you were paid but they’re not obliged to send it to you.

You will also need to provide details of any other income you may have had in the year, for example, bank interest received, dividends from shareholdings, profit on cashing in an assurance/endowment etc.

Can I Claim Back All of The Tax I Paid?

You can only claim back money you paid in taxes over and above the amount the law says you should have paid. We make a calculation based on the information you provided to us to find out how much tax you should have paid on your earnings. We then compare this to the amount you paid or the amount your employer deducted from your earnings and paid to HMRC. If the total amount you or your employer has paid is more than the law says you should pay you may have a case for a refund.

Do I have to Visit Your Office to Process the Claim?

Usually all the work can be done remotely. You can post your original documents to us and further communications can be over the phone or by email. Any documents we need to return to you can be returned in the mail. We might also ask you to fill out some forms or a questionnaire, in each case these can be emailed, faxed or posted back to us.
