    Just because he has worked for 15 years does not mean he is entitled to a tax rebate. You could work for 40 years and never have one if you have been paying the correct amount of tax for all that time.

    If he is due a rebate of any kind, he will get it automatically sent from the tax office.

    Without knowing the earnings figures, tax paid figures, tax code and what is happening between now and tax year end it is impossible to say what the tax position is.

    If he claims contribution based JSA, this is also taxable so will reduce the refund due
