I forgot to Claim TRS in 2001

[Mrs L]

Hi

I have just realised i never claimed trs on my first apt from 2001 to 2006 then i sold apt. Then I sent an application in 2009 when I bought my new home but it was never processed. So can I now claim FTB TRS from 2009 until now or will they only let me claim it as a second time applicant?

Thanks

Any help or info would be great.

We bought in 2001 and sold 2005. The tax relief was just deducted at source by the mortgage people, so we didn't claim it every year as a payment or anything.
We were told later on that if we wrote and claimed the other 2 years as FTB status for our next house we should get it. It was 7 years then for the bigger allowance. There is something about the year running from Jan to Dec though as well if I remember. You can ring the TRS office 1890 46 36 26, that's what I'd do.

No, 4 years is the most you can go back for tax claims - so only from 2008 (inclusive) onwards.
