    You can claim any overpayment of income tax by writing to your tax office.

    Do you believe you have paid too much tax?

    I don't think that leaving the country makes you eligible for a tax refund. I believe you can ask for a refund if you leave the country part way through the tax year and do not intend to return, but even then you would only be entitled to perhaps a partial refund, not everything you have paid.

    Thats really not how is works :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    As the above poster states ~ if you are leaving the country before April 5th 2008 you will be able to claim a portion of tax paid since April 6th 2007 depending on your earnings!!
