How do you submit a tax return?

Question

I paid way too much tax last year and want to know how do i get it back

Answer 1

Your employer should have given you a P60. Send this with a covering letter asking your HMRC office to review the tax year for you.

You can find your office at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/local/individuals...

Answer 2

You don't need a Tax Return for this if you are employed. Very few employed people come within the self-assessment criteria, and believe me, you don't want to. If you are self-employed, you will have been sent a Return, anyway.

You can imput P60 details into www.listentotaxman to check position. If you have overpaid, send form P60 to tax office, with a request for a computation, and repayment of any tax overpaid. Tax office would probably pick up any overpayment at some point, but probably not until next winter.

Answer 3

the tax office will it return it to you automatically if you have overpaid you dont need to do anything as far as filing a tax return goes you can do it on line at hmrc.gov.uk or your accountant will submit it for you if you have one

Answer 4

get in touch with your tax office. show them everything you have to prove the overpayment. If possible it is better to go to the tax office.
