In the UK you will pay 22% income tax on earnings above £2231 and 40% on any earnings over £34,600.
If you’re a PAYE (Pay as You Earn) worker, such as a receptionist or a teacher, your employer will deduct these taxes from your earnings. If you’re self-employed, such as a construction subcontractor, you are responsible for your own tax return.
Tax agents can help you file your tax return and get back a tax refund. The average tax refund is £963 for PAYE and £1453 for self-employed customers.
Why not let a tax expert check on a tax refund calculator to ascertain if you are due a tax rebate. Every single application is processed for compliance and any deductions or credits owed before they go to the tax office will ensure your tax refund is returned to you in the quickest time possible.
