Claiming Your Tax Refund

Most of us are part of the PAYE scheme which means that taxes are taken directly from our pay on a monthly basis. This means that we don’t need to calculate our own taxes, we don’t need to fill in regular tax returns, and we don’t need to deal with the tax office in order to make our payments. However, the system isn’t as foolproof as many of us believe and it is estimated that around one third of the working population in the UK have overpaid tax but many of us are unaware.

If you are one of these people, that has paid too much tax, then you are due a tax refund but you are highly unlikely to get any money back unless you progress a claim with the Inland Revenue. This usually means calculating your own taxes for the financial year and then determining how much tax you should have paid. Then you will need to complete the necessary tax refund paperwork before submitting it to the Inland Revenue to receive your tax refund.

If you entered the UK part way through the tax year and started work then you may have slapped with a full tax year allowance and this means that you will more than likely have overpaid. Similarly, if you are due to leave the country before the tax year ends then there is a very good chance that you will be due a tax refund.

You need to check your tax code, look at your earnings for the tax year, and then determine whether you have paid the right amount. There is a chance that you will have overpaid, and it is more than a slim chance too. A tax refund of several hundreds of pounds could be waiting for you.

If you’re not confident of being able to calculate your own tax rates, allowances, and earnings then you can use a third party tax consultant or tax refund service that will do all of this work for you. They will also complete the paperwork and submit your tax refund claim so that you don’t have to do any of this but could still receive the money you are owed back in your account.
