Do I need my P45 to claim UK tax back?
When making a UK tax back claim it is always recommended to provide your final P45 received in the UK.
A P45 is provided to each employee who leaves a job and shows the total income received and tax paid in the UK. It is given to you by your employer and not the tax office.
If you provide your final P45 with your UK tax back claim it can help HMRC to update your tax record quickly, and this will allow for any UK tax back to be calculated and issued in the quickest possible time.
Can I get a copy?
It’s common for people not to get their P45 because they have already left the UK before it is issued by their employer.
If you do not have a P45 from your last employer in the UK you can ask for a statement of earnings from the employer which replaces the P45 and shows the income and tax information that is needed.
If you cannot provide a P45 or a statement of earnings a UK tax back claim can still be made, but the claim could take longer if the employer has to be contacted for the P45 details.
