Reclaim Tax from 2005 - 2009

Hello all,

Just to give you some background information from 2004 - 2009 I have been a full time student at university. During this period I have held one job steadily and had several part time jobs. For all tax years I have my P60's and P45 from all the jobs.

Basically going through the paperwork now I have graduate I have had various tax codes, some on emergency tax code, and also I have earned various amount from £4000 p/a to £15,000 p/a over that time.

I have been searching online and have found direct.gov information on reclaiming tax says I just need to write a letter and include any P45's and P60's.

It says I just need to write a letter and include all the documentation. Now do I send in the originals and/or copies? Also what is the likely hood of recieving tax back?

I will not list all earnings and tax paid as I have far too many.

Any advice on writing the letter? Should I include enrollment documentation from University to state dates I attended?

Thanks in advance,

Darryl

    If you post your total earnings and total tax deducted for each year .... someone will give you a view as to possible overpayment(s). Being a student is irrelevant - you get the same personal allowance each year - no more no less - than anyone else under 65.
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
