Hi, I've received confirmation that my tax refund has been accepted (P800) and that the cheque will be sent to me to my new address in Poland. There was no option to claim the refund directly to my bank account during the application... Is there any chance it can be amended before the check is sent out and the money to be paid directly to my existing UK bank account? Kind regards, Adrian

Hi Qori

Yes a replacment cheque can be issued to a nominee. You will need to write in.
You need to include your National Insurance Number. You need to include your full name. You need to include your address. You need to include your signature.
You need to include the date you signed the letter. You need to include your repayment amount and the year the repayment is for.
You need to write to us with the name and address of the nominee to receive the replacement repayment. The address to send the letter to is
Pay As You Earn and Self Assessment,
HM Revenue and Customs,
BX9 1AS
United Kingdom.
The address, if originating from outside the UK is
HM Revenue & Customs,
Benton Park View,
Newcastle Upon Tyne
NE98 1ZZ United Kingdom.
If you also contact HMRC we can sent a referral to have the original cheque cancelled so that when you letter arrives a replacement can be issued Income Tax: general enquiries

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.
