Tax Rebate for Expat

bashiraad

Hi,

I moved out of the UK in October 2013 and sent HMRC a P85 form to say i was no longer living in the UK.

HMRC told me that I may be elidgable for a tax rebate for the tax year 2013/2014 since I left in October.

My question is does any one know what I would be entitled to and how they calculate it? do they look at the total income earnd between April 2013 - October 2014 and see which threshold I fit in.

Or do they rebate all the tax I paid in those months?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Having only worked for 6 months of the year it's likely that you will be able to reclaim some of the tax that you paid, although that may be affected by any earnings you had outside the UK in the rest of the year. This is the tax refund page on the HMRC website, which includes links to the form that you might have to fill in (P50), but I'm not entirely sure whether it covers the expat situation.

The form P85 replaces the form P50 when one leaves the UK. There is no requirement to complete the latter.
