System

When you left the UK you should have completed a "Leaving the UK form" and handed it in with your P45 from your last job and a refund for 2006-2007 could have been sent to you. You can still do that now.

On arriving back in the UK you should have completed an "Arrival in the UK form" so that HMRC would be able to account for the gap you left in their records. This also helps when it comes to sorting out the correct tax code for any job you have between your arrival date and the end of the 2007-2008 tax year.

If you post some figures such as gross taxable pay and tax paid, I'm sure we would be able to work out if you are due any tax back.

Tax number is your NI number.
