Hi Martin Williams,
If you find you are unable to cash your cheque abroad, then we can send a replacement cheque to a nominee, who you appoint and who has a UK bank account.  
Contact us by webchat or phone here:
Income Tax: general enquiries
To allow us to do this.
Thank you.

Hello! I wonder if anyone can advise me on what I can do. I moved to Australia in October last year. I've recently received an email that I am due a tax refund and should wait for a cheque. The cheque had already been sent out when I updated my address. I tried calling but got redirected several times after being cut off. The new tenants at the place we used to rent sent me the photo of the cheque, and it doesn't appear it can be used online, I also hear the fees can be astronomical for overseas cash-out. As I am not physically present in the UK, what is the best thing to do? I appreciate your help! Thank you and have a lovely day, Veronika.

Hi Veronika,
There are options avaiable to you,we can re-issue the payable order to someone else on your behalf, if you still have contacts in the UK.
We will need to cancel the original payable order first, so you will need to contact ourselves to start the process.

Thank you.
