If you have worked abroad during the past several years, you are most likely entitled to an income tax refund.

Information and advice on the subject of claiming tax back from working abroad is mixed to say the least. Income tax refunds for people who work abroad are available and there are many organisations that specialise in doing the administration for you. This involves filing tax returns with the aim of securing tax refunds. The services are generally open to all nationalities.
