Whats the difference between filing my UK tax return and getting my UK tax refund?
We file your UK tax return in order to organise your tax refund. A tax return is the annual submission of tax forms documenting your earnings, taxes paid, deductable expenses and benefits that you send to the tax office for review. They review it according to the information submitted by your employer and the current laws that apply to your case. If you get a tax refund, this means the tax office review found you have overpaid UK tax and are due some back. Our estimate of your refund is based on our prediction of what the tax office will decide when they review your tax return – providing they have the same information as us. Use our free UK tax refund estimator to see how much tax you could get back.
