Tax Refund


The two certainties in life are said to be death and taxes. Sadly the first is unavoidable but some of the second can be refunded back to you. This tax article with explain how to get a tax refund and introduces an easy to use free tax refund calculator to estimate your tax refund.

In the UK Income Tax is set at a starting rate of 10% and those who earn between £2,091 to £32,400 will be taxed at 22% whilst employees or the self employed who earn over £32,400 will be taxed at 40%. Each person has a personnel allowance which can reduce a tax bill. For example in the tax year of 2007 to 2008 the personnel allowance is £5225. It is possible to reduce your annual tax bill even further by getting a tax refund for legitimate expenses like professional subscriptions to a trade union, protective clothing and uniforms needed for your job but not provided by an employer or car mileage and other transport or travelling costs. There will be more about such tax refund claims further below this tax article.

Tax Refund UK


In the UK there are various ways to gain a tax refund. Your first point of contact should be to visit or telephone your local tax office and talk about any concerns you have. For example if you have been paying emergency tax for more than a few months on your main job, perhaps because your old employer still has your P45, then they can advise you on getting your tax code changed to a regular tax code. This can often be something as simple as the tax office sending a letter to your old workplace to chase up paperwork. This can result in a tax refund being repaid in your next pay packet and details will show up in your pay statement.

In any communication to the tax office regarding a tax refund in the UK you will need to provide your National Insurance number.

If you find talking to a tax official daunting - please don't they are only human! In our experience income tax employees and advisors are very approachable and helpful and talk in normal language! They avoid using jargon and are there to help you. If you do prefer to write to your tax office then ask your employer for your local tax office address or find it on your P60 or any letters you may have had from the tax office. Writing for a tax refund in the UK can slightly delay any claims because communication is slowed down by the need to wait for letters to reach their destination, be read and understood and then replied.
