Leaving the UK Tax Back FAQs

If you’ve already left the UK, or are planning on leaving soon, you could be missing out on your Leaving the UK Tax Refund.

You’ve only got four years to reclaim the tax refund you may be due, so claiming sooner rather than later is the best option.

Both UK and non UK nationals are eligible and making a claim does not affect your right to return to the UK to work again in the future.
