You could be entitled to tax back from your PPI claim
Find Out HowPPI Tax Refunds
Whilst the PPI deadline may have passed, we are currently contacting our customers that have had successful PPI claims as they may be entitled to a tax rebate for the tax paid on the redress recovered for settled claims.
What is PPI Tax?
A PPI refund was made up of 3 elements:
A refund of the PPI premiums paid to the lender
If the lender added an extra loan to your original loan to pay for the PPI, then any interest paid on this extra loan will have been refunded
Statutory interest at 8% for each year since you had PPI
It is the third element that is subject to tax. Most lenders deducted this tax at the basic rate of 20% automatically prior to customers receiving their refunds.
The reason tax was deducted by lenders is because the statutory interest was paid to return you to the position you would have been in had you not been mis-sold PPI. Therefore, counting as savings interest.
Why could I get a rebate on the tax that was paid?
On the 6th of April 2016, the personal savings allowance was launched, which allows most taxpayers to earn up to £1000 a year of savings interest tax free. PPI pay-outs automatically had 20% tax deducted without checks on personal savings allowance – which now means many customers are entitled to a tax rebate.
Who could get a PPI tax refund?
You can’t claim for a rebate if your PPI pay-out was before 6 April 2016.
If your pay-out was after 6th April 2016, you can only go back 4 tax years, meaning the furthest you can go back is the 2017/2018 tax year.
