Claim a Tax Refund If You’ve Stopped Work (P50 form)

I stopped working in Dec 2023 to date. I have note received any other income except the income from employer up to Dec 2023. I submitted P50 form online but hot a response that there is no refund due. How is this possible, because when I recalculated tax due vs what was paid as up to Dec 2023, it seems that I should get a refund. Called the number given on the letter received but the agent I spoke to was unable to give me clear reason why I was not due refund. Is it possible that the calculations done by HMRC to determine that no refund is due be shared with the tax payer so that I can understand why there is no refund? Thanks. P.S. no, I am not claiming any other benefits

Hi,

You would need to contact our Income Tax team so we can check your record.

Thank you.

Thank you for the response. Like I stated, I contacted the Income Tax team, but the agent was unable to give me a clear answer. I asked to get the calculations and reasons used to come to the conclusion that there was no refund due, the agent just said you guys don't send the calculations out to the tax payer, which I found weird. Hence I am trying to get assistance here

Hi Loyisox

If no tax refund is due HMRC do not issue a calculation. A calculation is only issued if there is an underpayment of tax or tax refund due. If no refund due when you contact HMRC they would still be able to explain why no refund due. We would need to access your record to explain this. You will need to contact HMRC direct for explanation Income Tax: general enquiries

Thank you

Hello, I stopped working on 31/07/2023 and have been unemployed ever since, I am also a full-time undergraduate student. I submitted a P50 form online on 03/04/2024, however, it has been 20 days and I have still not received a reply. When should I expect one? And is it possible to speed the process up as I am in need of the money?

Hi,

You will need to contact our Income Tax team to review this.

Hi, from April I worked 3 jobs simultaneously in order to fund my travelling and I will not be working before the end of the current tax year. I have all of my p45's and payslips but on the online p50 application there is only the option for one job? Or do I put my all my earnings from each job in the total income box and all tax paid from each job in tax paid box? Thanks.

Hi,

In most cases, you would enter the p45 information from the job you left last. However, if you have left 2 or more of your employments within a short space of time of one another, we would

advise that you contact us directly by webchat or phone via:

Income Tax: general enquiries

to ensure that we have the correct information to process your claim accurately.

Thank you.

Hi, I filled out a P50, and I haven't heard anything back from HMRC and its been well over a month. When I click 'check progress' on my account, it has been marked as complete, but I haven't heard anything at all. I submitted one on 30/09 and one on 15/10 as I hadn't heard back. What should I do as next steps? Thanks
