A tax rebate occurs when taxpayers overpay their taxes and are eligible for tax refunds. This can apply to both employed and self-employed individuals. Overpayment of taxes can result from various factors, such as job expenses and incorrect tax codes, causing taxpayers to pay more tax than necessary. So, how do you know if you’re due a tax rebate? You can use tools like our Tax Rebate Calculator to estimate your potential rebate. Additionally, HMRC may send a letter, such as a P800 or a simple assessment letter, to inform you if you’re due for a tax rebate.
