Refunding UK tax?

If you worked in the UK and have left part way through the year it is possible you will be due a refund.

The exact scenario will depend on many factors but in principle, if you leave the UK for good, and certainly more than 2 years then you are only taxed on your UK earnings to the date you leave.

If in this time you paid UK tax, you have a whole year personal allowance available which means your tax bill may be lower than the tax you paid and so a refund is often due.

I look after the taxation affairs for many UK expatriates who leave the UK, who arrive in the UK and who have income arising in different countries.

Being an expat myself and with over 10 years experience advising on tax matters, feel free to ask my advice.

greetings. i am a freelance writer. i am writing an article about returning home from living abroad and wondered if you would be willing to speak about your experiences. the magazine where the article would be published is (fittingly) called Abroad, and is distributed globally to expatriates. please let me know. best, sarah sennott

 

Hiya,


I worked in the UK for 9 years and decided to go back to France myself. If you do get the answers to your questions, I'll be curious to know myself. The whole thing turned out to be such a nightmare when I got there that in the end, I decided to come back to the UK. How sad? But before you leave, make sure you get written statements of earnings from all your employers over the years. They will be useful as they prove pretty much everything you may tell them about what you have been doing. Also get a E301 form.

Good luck.
