Question about claiming tax back

    My brother has recently claimed his trade union subs and flat rate expenses for the past 4 years. He was wondering if he'll get this back in a cheque or through his tax credits?

    Also I have been doing courses with the Open University the past year and a half. After the first year I sent in the receipts and was about to send in my 2nd year receipts. However as I'm on a low income the tax crdits are not much use. If I claim the receipts in January 2011 will I get the money back in a cheque or tax credits?



    Thanks in advance.

    I recently filed my annual income tax return for 2008, a refund was due and it arrived in the form of a cheque. They were very prompt at sending it out also.

    A refund of money for previous years comes in the form of a cheque or into a bank account if you supply one. A refund through tax credits only applys for the current year.

    If you claim a refund on tuition fees, regardless of the year claimed you will only get the benefit of the credits in the year the receipts are dated i.e you did a course in 2008 but decide to claim in 2011.... the receipts for the college will be dated 2008 so the benefit will be applied to that year. As it is a previous year the refund will be cheque or bank account.
