FRI Repayment
OK Fella here's the score,
You take the FRI you are committing to a return of 5 years.
You decide to leave before that date the crown expects the whole sum (gross amount) returned to them directly.
You then have to go to the UK Military Tax office folk in Swansea and reclaim the tax you paid on that sum for that financial year, as you have had a change in circumstances for that financial period. Tax returns are considered "live" for 7 years post submission, so the Customs and Revenue bods will give you back the tax you have now overpaid, the net result is you will be no worse than if you had not taken the FRI, however you will undoubtedly have a few issues with the C&R eejits as, like all pussers and blanket stackers, it really is THIER money!!
Hope this helps,
C&R Tel No in Swansea is 0845 300 3949, somebody there will assist you I am sure as all they deal with in the office is Military Tax, you will not be the first to ask the question!
Hope it helps!
