P-60, P-45 and tax reliefs: be prepared to file your tax return and apply for your tax refund in the UK!

The tax year in the UK is finished on 5th April 2018. Starting from this date, you will receive your P60, a document that resumes your British income. It also lists the amount of tax your employer deducted from your salary for the whole tax year.

Every employer must send the P-60 by 31st May by post or electronically. So, be sure you specified the right address or contact details on your working contract.In case your working contract is over before the end of the fiscal year, your employer will send you the P-45, which has the same purpose as the P-60. You will need one of these documents to apply for your tax refund.

UK tax system allows them to claim for special deduction if they fulfill certain conditions.
