Form P85 PDF Details

When individuals decide to leave the UK, whether for relocating abroad or for engaging in full-time work outside the country for at least a complete tax year, the P85 form becomes a critical document for managing their tax affairs. It is specifically designed for those who have lived or worked in the UK and are either leaving without plans to return or will work abroad for an extended period. The form is integral for claiming tax relief or a repayment of any taxes individuals might have overpaid during their time in the UK, a scenario common due to the way taxes are calculated and collected within the country. Importantly, the P85 form should not be filled by individuals who are merely leaving the UK for short trips, like holidays or business excursions, or those who are required to complete a Self Assessment tax return for the year they leave. Completing the form requires specific details about one's employment, income from the UK after departure, and personal information, including the last UK address and National Insurance number. It navigates individuals through several questions aimed at understanding their residency status, expected time out of the UK, and future engagement with the UK, such as income from properties or employment. A part of the HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) suite of tax-related forms, the P85 is an essential step for ensuring that one's tax status is correctly updated, potentially resulting in a refund of overpaid taxes. Moreover, it provides a structured process to declare one's tax situation, thereby avoiding any potential misunderstandings or conflicts with HMRC in the future.
