Get Your Tax Refund in 5 Easy Steps:
You can claim a tax refund in five easy steps.
Step 1: Fill out a P85 form and send it to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
Step 2: Call HMRC to check that they have received the forms, or log on to their website to check if your payment has been processed.
Step 3: If you can’t pay by direct debit, you must pay any outstanding balance within 30 days of receiving your next tax refund for this year’s tax return. Once paid off, reclaim any overpayments from your bank account using form R43 – which acts as a credit card-like system for paying off debts owed to HMRC. You must sign up as soon as possible so that you’re not left short at Christmas or when there’s another emergency expense.
Step 1: Fill Out a P85 Form and Send It to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
If you’ve overpaid tax, HMRC will send you a P85 form. You need to fill out this form and send it back to HMRC before April 5th, 2019. It’s worth checking your tax code every year to make sure that it hasn’t changed and that you are being paid at the correct rate. You can also fill out the P85 claim online through the HMRC website, this will take less time than doing it by post, but it is not suitable for everyone as some people may find it difficult to use a computer or smartphone (if they don’t have one)
Step 2: Call HMRC To Check That They Have Received the Forms
Call HMRC to check that they have received the forms. You can call HMRC, or you can also call them online at www.gov.uk/hmrc-customer-service.
Step 3: Receive the Taxable Amount
Your employer will give you a P45 form to fill in if they have not already done so. This will show how much tax was withheld from your salary, which can be used to help with your tax refund claim. If you were employed for only part of the year and did not receive a P45, contact HMRC directly and ask them to issue one. If you are self-employed or unemployed, you may need to get in touch with HMRC directly (see Step 2 above).
Step 4: Claim Any Overpayment
If you still think you have overpaid tax on income other than employment or pension income. Ask HMRC to refund this.
If you are still due a refund for non-employment or non-pension-related taxes, then contact HMRC via their online service. They will be able to tell you exactly how much money is owed and how best to claim it.
You should give them as much information and evidence as possible so that they can make a decision quickly and easily. This might include things like receipts showing payments made directly into your bank account. Proof of any expenses paid by clients (if self-employed), etc.
Step 5: Ask for a Review
If HMRC doesn’t agree with your claim, ask them to review your case. You should give them as much information as possible to support your claim. They will then write to confirm their decision. In some cases, you can ask an independent tribunal to look at this decision. But usually not if you are claiming back less than €170 (€340 for joint claims). If you are not happy with the decision, you can ask for a review.
You can ask for a review if:
- You have new evidence that wasn’t available when HMRC decided on your original claim. For example, if your employer hadn’t paid you correctly or had made an error with their payroll records.
- You didn’t know about the tax refund at the time of your original claim but now know that you are entitled to it (for example, because it was taken from your wages without being paid into an account which is why it wasn’t claimed in the first place).
- Your circumstances have change since making your original claim (such as having had a baby or getting marry).
