Hello, I received an HMRC tax refund check, but have no ways of cashing it in (I no longer live in the UK and my Revolut UK bank doesn't support cheques). 1) Is it possible to cancel the cheque and ask for an online reimbursement process instead? 2) If 1) is not possible, how can I name a nominee to cash in the check on my behalf?

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. We can send a replacement cheque to a nominee, who you appoint and who has a UK bank account.
