Is it possible to claim back overpaid tax that i paid in 2005/2006?

jane

During the tax year of 2005/2006 I had 2 part time jobs whilst being a full time college student and 1 of the jobs i was in i was paying tax which i shouldn't. I was wondering if it is possible to reclaim that money now as i never got round to do it?
Also how do i go by claiming it?
Thanks

Yes, in the UK you can go back until 2002/2003. Contact tax office. They may need documentary evidence of the tax deduction (forms P60 or forms P45), and further information on your employment history for the year.

If you don't file for 3 years they screw you for the fourth and no refund is allowed. I would file another return to the Intentional Ripoff Service and try to reclaim some rightfully earned compensation for your time.

If you were working while a student, then there is a good chance you can claim all your tax back as you would have earned below your personal allowance.

You can claim back upto 6 years ago.

Your national insurance contributions can not be claimed back, but some can be transferred into a person pension abroad.

You have 2 options.

1. Send your P45/P60s/statement of earnings as well as a completed P91, P85 and P86 if applicable to your local tax office with a cover letter.
2. Alternatively you can use an agency who will do all the work and deal with the Inland Revenue for you but they charge around 10%, one example is:

Legally, you can claim back an overpayment for up to 6 years. I suggest that you write a letter to your local tax office. I did so recently, I explained how much I had been taxed in that particular year and how much I should have been taxed. I received a cheque from HMRC within two months.
