Q: Do I get all of my tax back?
A: If you have earned less than £5,035 in the 2006/2007 financial year then you will receive a full tax rebate of tax paid. If you have earned over your tax-free allowance, the amount of your refund will depend on a number of factors including your gross income, the amount of tax deducted and how you apply. As specialists in UK tax refunds, we will guarantee to organise the largest possible refund for you.
