Tax Rebates

Could You Be Eligible To Claim Tax Back?

There are many reasons why you may have overpaid tax to HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs), making you eligible to claim tax back.

For example, you may have been given the wrong tax code, your employer may have deducted your tax incorrectly or you may have been unemployed. Equally, if you've held more than one job or are a student, it could be time to think about claiming back tax.

You can also claim back a sizeable portion of income tax if you leave the UK, and stop working here part way through the tax year before using up your tax allowance. You can file for a rebate within six years of emigrating, and get the full amount back in arrears. Of course, how much you receive depends on what you earned previously, and how much tax you have paid every tax year before leaving the country.

Claiming back tax doesn't have to be complicated. Entering your earnings and total taxes paid in the given accounting year into a UK tax calculator will tell you whether you are due a rebate.
