You can only claim any excess tax paid. Nothing more.

If due to leaving the country you are only going to work part of the current tax year then you should be be due a refund of some or maybe even all of the taxes you've paid this tax year.

What is important to understand is that when anyone employed in UK (therefore paying income tax) decides to leave UK (for good or for an extended period of time), he is only entitled to claim back any excess tax (already) paid and not any tax rebate or full tax refund!

e.g. -
Assuming that annual income tax libaility for an employed person is GBP 12K and his employer deducts 1K every month from his salary as income tax. But after working for 3 months (Apr, May and June) the employee decides to leave UK. In such case, therefore, the employee is only liable to pay income tax on the 3 months of salaried income in the tax year.

Now, if the income tax lability is less than 3K (1K tax deducted by employer at source x 3 months = 3K), the individual can claim refund of the excess tax paid. In other words, claim = 3K - income tax on 3 month's income (that he received in Apr, May and June).

He is not entitled to anything more than this.

That would be the pension portion transfered to another pension scheme I reckon. Haven't read it in detail.

Basically if you've worked here for any length of time under PAYE with the correct tax code you won't get anything back other than the possibility of a pension fund transfer.

Yes. From state pension scheme to a private pension fund.

It is a very good scheme for non EU students,Tier1,2 who may not work here throughout their lives.The rebate from HMRC is transferred to AXA stakeholder pension fund that can be transferred to your private pension fund back home approved by HMRC.

Here's how you claim any taxes that you are due back.

http://search2.hmrc.gov.uk/kbroker/hmrc ... formId=766

Basically the amount you could be due assuming you have the normal tax code (647) and pay basic rate tax only (20%) is about £108 for every month until the end of the tax (April 5th), though the amount you will get back will be limited to the amount you've paid this tax year.

Can you explain please, the whole basis of PAYE is that assuming the tax code is correct, the correct amount of tax is deducted every month, it self adjusts if something goes out of kilter, and I would say in my experience it's correct 99.99% of the time. In your example above, I can't see how there is any tax rebate due.

It works fine if you work the whole year, but not if you only work the first few months and then stop working - it can't self-adjust.

Ahh, now I get you - I was assuming the person in question would stop work and leave immediately...

I don't think that it would matter if they did leave the UK straightaway, as I don't think the UK income tax personal allowance is reduced if you are not resident in the UK for the whole of the tax year.

I think it would - I think PAYE does self-adjust if you start work later in the tax year. Mind u I know it doesn't make the adjustments all at once so you may be right.

I'm going to shut up now.
