Gov UK P800 Refund | How to Get Refund
The UK government website (gov.uk) provides information on P800 tax refunds. A P800 is a tax calculation letter that informs you if you’ve paid the correct amount of tax.
If you’ve overpaid, you might be entitled to a refund. You can find details on how to claim your refund online or via mail on the gov.uk website.
How to Get Refund
Here’s how to claim your P800 refund:
1. Online (Fastest Option):
- Through your Personal Tax Account: This is generally the quickest way to get your refund. You’ll need a Government Gateway user ID and password. If you don’t have one, you can create one on the HMRC website.
