claiming tax back

[salaried]

Hi, A friend has been unemployed for the past few weeks and will be making a claim for a tax rebate. Is the procedure to send in a p50 along with a p45 to the tax office, If so would a copy of his p45 suffice. Thanks.

yes, that's correct but your friend needs to wait for 4 weeks before making the claim. He should send in the original P45. The tax office will send back a new P45 so that he will have it if he gets a new job. If still unemployed after a further 4 weeks, he can reapply for a further refund.

Lane7 thank you for your reply, I was uncertain as to what form would be needed to accompany the p45. Are you sure that an original copy of the p45 is required as he is having probems in that regard, His ex employer has sent him a photo copy of the original and is impossible to contact, Thank you for your help so far , Regards Cumnor.
