What is a tax rebate?

A tax rebate is a re-payment made to you by the Inland Revenue because you overpaid your income tax.

This may have happened because you were on the wrong tax code for example, or did not work for a full fiscal year.

What do I need to make a claim?

You will need these original forms:

  • P45 for each employment you have had during the tax year (given to you at the end of each employment)
  • P60 from the company where you were employed at the end of tax year
  • if you worked in the Construction Industry Scheme, all CIS Vouchers received you from your employer/s during the tax year. In this case we will also need to receive your Self Assessment Tax Return sent to you by the Inland Revenue in April
  • If you cannot provide us with a P45 or P60, a Statement of Earnings from your employer will suffice it
  • You will also need to complete some tax forms. Please click here to print the full pack

How long will it take me to receive my rebate?

It usually takes from 4 to 6 weeks from the date you submit your details and all documentation to us.

Please note that in some cases this may take considerably longer. For instance, insufficient or incorrect information or lack of a permanent National Insurance Number can lengthen the process.
