I have been filling the form online at this link (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-your-income-tax-right-if-youre-leaving-the-uk-p85) to claim for the excess income tax I have paid. However, I was never asked at any point about my UK bank details to receive the refund, but only a question about where to send the payable order. Is there something I am not doing correctly? Or when will I be able to provide my UK bank details? Thank you for your support and happy festivities!

Hi lucadesa,
In the course of leaving the UK, taxpayers often decide to close their UK bank accounts before we've had the opportunity to issue their repayments to them.
As such, the most effective way to ensure a repayment reaches a taxpayer is to issue it by cheque.
Thank you.

Hello, Thank you for the response. Is it possible to obtain a bank transfer instead? What is the procedure to request this alternative course? It would make my life a lot easier if I could proceed with the bank transfer. Many thanks for your understanding!

Hello, Can you please revert on this? In other topics, YOU ADMIN said that there is a section to fill the bank details in however the system never asked me this. Will we be presented with the bank details once you've processed the claim or how? Thanks, Jakub

Hi lucadesa,
On the P85 form there is a section to complete to repay to a UK bank account or issue a cheque.
You would complete the section that applies to you. 
Thank you.

Dear Admin 25, Before submitting, I tried multiple times to do and re-do the online form as I could not spot any indication of "bank transfer". I came to the conclusion that the option is not present, hence my post here. I am happy to take your advice on how to inform HMRC that I prefer a bank transfer and provide my bank details. Thank you for your help!

Hi
If you submitted the P85 without UK bank details we would issue a cheque. I would advise to contact HMRC to check if the claim processed and how repayment made Income Tax: general enquiries
