jordan_s Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yeah as far as i am aware my tax bill will be zero as i haven't had income over the tax threshold, probs not even half of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_s Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Suggest you contact an accountant, if your circumstances are not complicated should only cost about £100 and could possibly save you that on your tax,plus it can be offset against your tax liability. Yeah i may do this but i won't have a liability to pay anyway so it won't offset against my bill as i won't have one to pay anyway. I just thought it may be pretty simple to do by myself without having to pay £100 to an accountant to do it for me..... Think i only need to claim my tax back i have paid and also the mileage i have done. Can you claim back the national insurance you have paid too?

Leah-Lacie Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 IIRC, you can claim for travel expenses while you were AT work, but can't claim for the travel to and from work - Not sure how they figure out a difference if you have to drive from job to job?

southcoast Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 If your total income for the entire year, is lower than the amount of your personal allowance, you should have paid zero tax and so you can claim back whatever tax you have paid. How you go about that, I couldn't help you with. I can't even tell you what your personal allowance is, except that the most common one is £7,475, and if your tax code begins with 747 that's what yours is. I thought the personal allowance was 8 grand as of this april? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I thought the personal allowance was 8 grand as of this april? It is going up, I couldn't tell you exactly to how much, but the OP's question concerns money earnt for the current year, and so the current amount, before it goes up in a few days' time, is what's important here.

cgksheff Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 If the OP's earnings are below the threshold i.e. he pays no income tax, the issue of mileage etc. becomes irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It also appears that you are below the threshold for compulsory NI Contributions, so you could choose not to contribute, but that would affect your future entitlements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
