If you are paying your tax on time, so when the amount of tax paid becomes more than the tax liability you become eligible to claim for the tax refund. There are number of reasons for claiming tax refund. This could include the need to change the filling status, claim tax credits, report extra income, change exemption that have previously not been taken and claim additional dependants.

It is very important to state all the justification for your refund claim so that in case your claim is rejected and you file a court suit, you will not be able to argue the case on the grounds that you have not mentioned it in the refund claim. So, if you think you have paid too much tax then how you claim a refund depends on your circumstances. Sometimes HM Revenue & Customs will send you a refund straight away. But if you've overpaid tax and started a new job, they'll usually ask your employer to pay it back to you. If you've paid too much tax on a pension, your pension provider may help you with tax rebate claim and pay back the amount refund to you.

If you have worked in UK and then left the country, you can easily claim the tax rebate from HMRC. The amount of the tax rebate depends upon the amount you earned and the amount you paid in tax, during each eligible year. When you leave the job in UK, your employer will provide you with P45. When you have your P45, you can begin to claim your tax here. The P45 will state amount that you earned and how much you paid in tax for the fiscal year. The time taken for tax refund depends on the office and usually takes in between 4-6 weeks. Often, there are backlogs and it can usually takes 90 days for the funds to be processed.

Many people live UK for a couple of reason to explore the new country or to go back to their hometown. Whatever may the reason be, you will certainly be some tax due when you leave the country. Almost anyone who has worked in UK, paid income tax and leaves for a extended period period of time will be able to apply for tax rebate claim when leaving the country. If you have P60 for previous years you can check to see if you have overpaid in these years too. The longest you can claim is for 6 years but it is always recommended to reclaim as soon you stop working.
