Getting The Most Out of Your 2021-22 Tax Return
Many tips help individuals navigate the UK tax system and get the refund they deserve minus the hassle. One must also consider that the same system applies if you are owed tax due to an overpayment of income tax, capital gains, or other taxes. But where do you start? How do you know what you can and can’t claim? Knowing what you can and can’t claim on your tax refund is the difference between being able to make a legal and correct refund application. On average, people who claim tax returns through taxback.co.uk receive a significantly higher refund than they would have claimed themselves; follow these tips and learn about what you could claim on your UK tax returns.
What to watch out for if you’re trying to file your tax return
- Never assume the HMRC will automatically credit you a refund due in the form of a cheque. They often apply the refund as a credit on the future taxes owed. It is in an individual’s best interest to request payment for the refund, in writing. Always keep copies of your correspondence with the HMRC.
- When corresponding with the HMRC, always include your tax reference number, NI number, and contact information.
- If the delay expands to over a few weeks, call 09110 141 100 to check the status of your return or refund. Be sure to have your NI and tax reference numbers handy, so they can quickly access your information.
- If your tax return is not completed within eight weeks, you may want to talk with a Complaints Manager. Complaint Managers at your tax office are instructed to handle these complaint cases personally to speed up the process.
- You can be entitled to interest on payments that have been delayed. The rate of interest could amount to a decent sum of compensation for your inconvenience, or it could be a small amount; every tax return is unique to the individual making a claim.
