HMRC says UK taxpayers could be owed tax refund - what to check and how to apply

HMRC has issued a message to UK taxpayers, urging them to check if they are owed a refund. The Government organisation has explained who might be owed money and the process to apply for it

HMRC is urging taxpayers across Britain to check whether they're due a refund and has said who is entitled to money back.

There are several reasons why people could be owed cash. These include issues relating to pensions , employment income or self-assessment tax returns.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter , HM Revenue and Customs said: "Think you're owed a tax refund? Manage your money and tax easily with the HMRC app."

The appeal comes as individuals born before 2011 have also been told to check their eligibility for refunds, according to ChronicleLive.
