CAn I get paid income tax back if I am leaving UK forever?

Hi everyone, Could anybody please tell me whether I can get all my paid income tax for last 2 years back becoz I am going to India permanently after 2 months. I was here as a student in UK for past 2 years and have worked partime and sometimes full time as well. SO just wanted to know that can i get all my paid tax back. I know that NI contributions are not refunded. But what about income tax. If I can get it back please let me know from where and how should I apply for it? THanks a million .

See my answer to Ravin M on page 2.

thanks for the giggles . NO!

Yes you can. You can contact your local HM Revenue & Customs office, or the one that your most recent employer use. You will need your NI number.

There are also 100s of agencies that will help you do this (for a small cut). Sometimes, they are in your home country and you can sort this out after you leave. I would find out for sure before leaving though!

Personally, being British and always working in England, I have never done this, but know plenty of people who have.

I think you will get something back.
I know my sister did when she moved back to Ireland.
Contact the citizens advice bureau.
