Royal Mail lost my tax refund application...what can I do now?

Downlad another P85 from www.hmrc.gov.uk and send it to your UK tax office with a letter explaining what happened so they know why there is no P45. The tax office will have Part 1 of the P45 and should repay you on the strength of their copy.

You need to get back on to the refund department. the Roayal mail can't help because it is the tax refund dept that get on to them for that because they sent it and not you.

So mean while tell them they lost it and also tell the tax eople it never came and so they should send another one.

You have to ask for naother p45 and this time copy it and send it. You need to copy everything in future always send the copues and always send by registered post for a signiture. If they are as important as you say then they also need a tracker number. It is a little extra money but worth it because look at the husstle you have had.

Lastly we have such a back log of forms in thei country so it is slow snail post that will hold you up. All will be sorted out but not in the time frame that you want.

You will at least now have learned to always photo copy every piece of important documentation that you send through the post. Call HM Revenue and ask specifically what to do or even the Citizens advice bureau and they will know all the information of what you need to do.
