    Default P85 refund from UK

    How long does it take to hear from HMRC after sending off P85?

    how long is a bit of string anything froma month to several months, in fact you may not hear anything at all until you get a cheque (or a bill!) I'm on month 3 of my own wait

    My OH and I sent ours off at the same time last November, a month later he recieved a bill (although we worked for the same period of time at the same company) and a month after that he received a cheque for his refund.... I'm still waiting to hear anything from them at all.

    there's a thread on here somewhere about this with people's experiences. don't give up hope, they are just working through a very large stack of requests.

    The Search on this site doesn't seem to register short words - it wasn't you.

    Searches have to be longer than 3 letters, for some reason.

    Congrats
    I think it may have just been under UK tax refund or something else

    in fact it was under an entirely different code! my bad R43, P85 all the same to my addled brain

    on this subject, have printed off my P85 and filled it out, but is there any other way to get a P45 than from your employer? Can the tax office process a claim without a P45?
