Im not sure if this has been mentioned on here before....but when leaving the UK you can claim some of the tax back that you have paid for that financial year. You just need to send your P45 along with a P85 form that you can download from the net to the inland revenue. My Girlfriend and I recieved about 2000 pounds between us which was a big help when we first arrived in Melbourne.

Thought id mention it as a few brits id spoken to hadnt done this.
