The Broughtons Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi fellow poms in ozers, Thought I'd just remind people how important it is to complete a P85 in order to re-claim any tax that you have overpaid before you come to Australia. I filed mine and receive over £800 back. We're still waiting for Michael's. There is also a form you can complete to hand into your bank if you are leaving a bank account open in the UK which declares that you are no longer a tax resident and therefore should not be paying tax on any interest earnt. I did it for our accounts but forgot one - we're still paying tax on that - bugga! I can't remember the number of the form but if you google search it or look on the inland revenue site you should find it. Be warned though - banks and building societies are not obliged to accept it, it is at the branches discretion! Fortunately Barclays seem to accept it okay. Hope this helps you claim a few extra pennies back, as Tesco say, every little helps! Felicity:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lcys2460 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Thanks Felicity for reminding us - the bank form is R105. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
