  • Answer:

    Yes, what you have been told is correct. You need to download form P85 from www.hmrc.gov.uk and send it to your tax office with the P45 you received when you left your job.

Unless you have paid tax in advance (which is very unlikely) you wont get anything back. In the UK you get a tax free allowance every year. If you get paid weekly you claim 1/52 of that amount each week, if you get paid monthly you claim 1/12 of it each month. Your employer does that automatically. The reason you cant claim back is because you have enjoyed the benefits that the tax system provides in the UK
