Who can apply for a UK tax rebate?
If you paid income tax on your salary in the UK, you are eligible to apply for a tax refund. This claim can be backdated for the previous 4 years and can be made even if you are already back in Ireland. The refund can be paid by cheque addressed to you or paid to your bank account.
Why would I be due UK tax back when I’m moving to Ireland?
You can claim tax back if:
- You leave the UK in the middle of a tax year and you have not used all of your tax free allowance.
- You worked temporarily in the UK or you were working there on an emergency tax code.
- You incurred work related expenses and you haven’t reclaimed tax relief on your job expenses such as purchasing work tools, travel and accommodation costs and washing work uniform.
- You are a UK non-resident or a UK non-resident landlord.
- You are paying UK tax on pension income in the UK.
How much tax can I claim back?
Every case is different and depends on your own personal set of circumstances and how much tax has been withheld in the UK.
