Hi (o:

 

While I'm not an expert I had no issues with my refund, and a friend of mine who also migrated told me that she received a refund cheque to the address the IR had for her - she hadn't even sent in a form...

 

Anyway - here's the link to the webpage, there is no mention of dates in there so I would say as long as they have a P45 to enclose it's got to be worth a shot! http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/p85_p85s.htm

Hi

 

I don't think there is a time limit for claiming and if there is, it's probably in excess of 3 years.

 

I claimed recently, it took about 7 weeks to process (usual Inland revenue bulls**t). I was advised to CC my most recent UK MP as they will chase things for your nighour if it starts to take too long.

 

There are agencies that'll do it for you and online calculators that will indicate how much is due back. It's worth doing the forms themselves as the agencies take 10-20% cut.

 

Good luck.

You can claim up to 6 years Tax back if it is due........if you submit p60's/p45's for the 6 years, it CAn work both ways!!!!

 

I send my Hubbies P60 off every year with the relevant forms - this is after I have done a manual Tax Calculation as it could mean that he hasn't paid enough!!! We have received Tax Rebates most years - apparently 1 in 3 people are paying too much tax in their PAYE!!!
