Hi, I am currently living in Canada and have been working here full-time since January 2020. I have recently come to learn that when I left I should maybe have submitted a P85, letting HMRC know about my move. I haven't had any income from the UK since I left, I only earn income and pay taxes here in Canada. Now that I've discovered this P85 form, should I submit one that is dated for when I moved to Canada? Thanks

Hi,

As the 2019 to 2020 year will have already been reviewed and any potential repayment settled, a P85 is not needed. You can however, let us know your new address (if not already noted) to keep your record updated.

Thank you.

Hi, I have a question regarding the p85. I left the UK in 2017. I worked there and paid some taxes because I had two jobs, but for a short time and with low wages. I did not earn the annual minimum for the tax declaration. Finally, I got a full-time job abroad. Shall I fill out the p85?

Hi Chandler,
If you have left the UK then yes the P85 would be the correct form to submit.
As it is going back to 2017 then that tax year should have already been reviewed and any refund issued.
If you contact HMRC we can check if reviewed. Income Tax: general enquiries
Thank you.

Dear Team, I would like to ask about Form P85 for past years. I lived and worked in UK for a short time: from November 2015 to January 2016. I worked in a call center and received slightly more than the minimum wage. In January 2016 I left UK and my job for family reasons. I am currently living in Germany and have been working here full-time since November 2016. I have recently come to learn that when I left I should maybe have submitted a P85. I haven't had any income from the UK since I left, I only earn income and pay taxes here in Germany. I have no property in UK and I am not UK citizen, I am EU citizen. Do I need to sent now in January 2024 this P85? Are there any penalties for people who did not send this form on time? Or is it possible to get some kind of tax refund after submitting this form for two months of work in UK? Thank you in anticipation for your answer! Best regards

Hi EU citizen_3,
No you do not need to send in the P85 now. the 2015/16 year is now out of date for any action to be taken.
Thank you.

Hi UK-Resident-dz,
Tax if you leave the UK to live abroad
You should complete form P85 when leaving the UK or a complete a Self Assessment if you complete Tax returns. 
Thank you.
