- You worked as a short-term employee in the UK
- You did not work for the full tax year

Am I entitled to any UK tax relief?
In the UK, you may be entitled to certain tax reliefs to reduce the amount of tax that you have to pay.
Some tax reliefs are given automatically but some you will have to apply for on your own. Not to worry, Taxback can help with the application process ensuring you receive any tax reliefs you may be due from the past four years.
Tax reliefs apply to a number of things like:
- Pension contributions
- Charity donations
- Household bills in case you were required to work from home due to Covid-19
- If you are employed but use your own money for travel expenses and things you may buy for your job e.g. equipment or tools, flat rate expenses
- Marriage allowance
If you have a double-taxed income, in the UK and in your home country, relief under the Double Taxation Agreement between both countries could be claimed in a UK tax rebate.
