Ppi Tax back

With great difficulty.

If it was pre 6 April 2016 forget all about it if not then you need to remember who made the repayment and ask them for the details.

PPI refunds aren't taxable, it's just the statutory interest paid with it that's taxable.

You will need to amend your 2018:19 return to include the interest and include it on your 2019:20 return in due course.

Yes.  The earliest you could claim for is the 2015:16 tax year.

On 6 April 2020 the earliest will become the 2016:17 tax year.

There are different procedures depending on whether you have, or need to, complete a Self Assessment return or not.

hi can anyone help with my issue, reclaiming my tax back for ppi payment. I did see Martin's program on this topic and therefore realised i could claim as I don't pay tax.
I recently returned from overseas last may 2019, i have not paid tax here for some years as paid tax overseas in that country, however i had some  ppi payments paid to me last year 2019 , i do not work or pay tax here, I am a carer for my elderly parents but do not get no carers allowance, no savings.
I have the statements for the ppi and tax of 20% was taken off at source , the total amount was just under £50,000, I have tried the on line form but got stuck at first hurdle,
Can anyone please help me with the form , rather do the paper one , i just don't know how to do it and what to put where.? any help would be greatly appreciated.many thanks

So, my PPI was paid out in August 2014, I assume I cannot claim the tax, quite unfair when you think about it, ripped off yet again !!!! I suppose there’s no use going into our bank and asking ?

No.  You were highly unlikely to be due anything back for that tax year anyway.

It's only since rules changed in April 2016 that most people would become entitled to a refund.
