Hi, I have received a refund check from HRMC in my new home in Brazil but my bank is not able to send me the paperwork required to send it over the UK to cash it. As I still keep a UK bank account, is it possible to send the refund via BACS instead? Otherwise I will have to spend a huge amount on plane tickets.

Hi,
As you are no longer in the UK there are various options to cash the cheque. You can post the cheque to your UK bank with a paying-in slip or present your cheque by taking a photograph, if you have a mobile app for your UK bank account. If the cheque cannot be submitted via your online banking you can ask your overseas bank if they can cash the cheque - you may have to pay the bank a fee. Alternatively, we can send a replacement cheque to a nominee, who you appoint and who has a UK bank account.
