Have you ever heard of this term or seen it all over every second website when you type in “living in London”? When we first came over to the United Kingdom, we were bombarded with information about tax refunds. Our initial thought was, wow, these people really want to give me back all that money and I won’t have to pay any tax when working in the United Kingdom!

That is not true at all, reality soon kicked in. It is called clever advertising; it caught your attention, didn’t it? Tax refunds are big business amongst all the people coming to the United Kingdom on working holiday visas. Why is it big money? Well these companies take a certain percentage from what you get back, IF you are due something back and all they do is complete a form and send it off to the tax office for you. They make it sound complicated but it is not.

I was a sucker for it the first year but soon learned that I could do it myself and guess what, it worked and now I know a bit more and have been doing it myself ever since. No middleman means I get more of my tax money back.

Want to know how to do it? Leave me a comment and I’ll respond on this post. The information is really for free but it’s better if you ask me questions rather than other websites copying my writing!
