    I overpaid tax and usc in 2018 which I want to get refunded. I put in my p60 details online but it says nothing about a refund or anything. I then sent them a message with the my enquires part. Why is the website so hard to follow? Much easier to send them a letter or ring them but they keep advising me that its easier online, its not.

    You need to request a p21 balancing statement. You can do it online.

    Do it for the past 4 years.

    It doesn't let me request p21, it brings me straight to my documents where its only old documents. Very annoying!

    It promted me to fill in form 12 so I did. What does that do?

    The form 12 is a tax return. Once completed and submitted it generates a p21 balancing statement which should show up in your documents in about 48 hours. The balancing statement will tell you the result of filing your return. It will be balanced, underpaid or overpaid. If it's overpaid, any refund due should issue to you automatically.

    A small percentage of all claims and refunds can be pulled for manual checking but the online service is miles ahead in terms of processing time compared to the paper based system.

    Did you get deducted USC during the year? Why not use the figures on your final payslip for 2018
