Taxpayers in Oxfordshire could be missing out on valuable refunds because they have not yet received a tax return, writes Sarah Parker.

Kay Hardie, of The Tax Team in Didcot, warned that two thirds of taxpayers may not have received a tax return yet, but should be aware of the pitfalls of not contacting their local tax office.

Some people could be entitled to tax relief on protective clothing, laundry bills and subscriptions to professional bodies and anyone who has missed out on this may be able to back claim for up to six years.

The Tax Team offers a free tax healthcheck to identify refund possibilities and tax compliance obligations. For further information call Kay Hardie on 01235 819558.
