  • RE: Income Tax Refund

    Hi Thanks for the advise. And I have another question. There is an online "Claim an Income Tax Refund Form" in HMRC website. For the section "I claim repayment of the amount overpaid to me", it asks "Is this a PAYE or Self Assessment claim?" Under what situation I should select "PAYE" or "Self Assessment"? For the "Self Assessment claim", "Payable Order" and "Direct to bank account" option is avaliable for it? And for the "PAYE claim", only "Payable Order" option is avaliable for it? Thank you so much
