HMRC have redesigned the R40 'Tax repayment form'. This form is used by around 600,000 people every year, mainly pensioners, married women and children, to claim back tax deducted from bank or building society interest, or other investment income.
The new four-page form has the same look and feel as the short self assessment tax return, introduced last year, and follows a successful two-year trial involving around 1,000 people.
