HMRC - Change of Address

[gupta_ust]

Hi All,

I am due for ILR by this year end and have recently changed jobs. I just realized that when I applied for NI number in 2010, I used my temporary address and moved to new address in 2010 itself. I did not inform HMRC about the address change assuming my employer must have taken care of this. Now, after changing job, I think I may be eligible for tax refunds. Should I notify HMRC of the address change which was 4 yrs ago. Can it create any issues?

Please note that I got visa switch and extensions based on my current address and is it an offence of not reporting the address change to HMRC?

its not an issue.. just give them a call, and change your address. You can also do this online.
Then give them a call about the tax refund. HMRC normally sends tax refunds around sept time for previous year. If they have already done that and sent it to your previous address, u can always ask them to cancel the previous cheque and send a new one at the correct address..
