United Kingdom - Tax Return

You can claim your taxes from United Kingdom up to 4 tax years back. As the tax year in the UK runs from 6th of April to 5th of April of the following year, the tax year is considered to be the turn of the year, for example 2022/2023.

Deadlines for claiming your taxes from United Kingdom for the previous years:

• tax return for the tax year 2020/2021 - till the 5th of April 2025

Tax year in United Kingdom runs from 6th of April to 5th of April of the following year. This means that the tax year is considered to be the turn of the year, for example 2022/2023.

The tax office usually returns the tax overpayment to the british bank account. If you do not have any british bank account, you can ask for a cheque to be sent.

Yes, you will obtain the overpayment to your bank account usually within 3 ‑ 8 months from the time of filing your tax return.

You will need a P45 or P60 form from each employer you worked for during the tax year to complete your tax return.

The P45 and P60 are forms confirming your income in the United Kingdom for the tax year. They are used to support the tax return and also form an attachment to the tax return.

The P45 form is issued by the employer, if you terminate your employment during the tax year, i.e. by 5th of April.

If the employment relationship is still ongoing, your employer will issue for you a P60 form at the end of the tax year.
