can I reclaim tax paid on a savings account if I didn't pay tax for the year?

[MsMoneybags]

I'm just doing my tax return for the year and I'm well below the threshold for tax. I got interest on a savings account (in just my name) taxed automatically - about £100 - and I wondered if I could claim it back

how would I go about this? do I need to mention it on my tax return or ring the bank?

yes im sure you can

i think you do it on a tax return and get a nice cheque from inland rev back

you put all income and all tax deducted at source on the tax return. the repayment will be automatic.

thanks so much for this - I did it, I didn't think it would be so simple! I always get myself worked up about doing my tax return and then it takes about 30 minutes

duh
