The income tax will be repayable upon their submitting a self-assessment 
return next April. Obviously, both the Employment and Foreign 
supplementary pages will have to be completed as a minimum. Keep a note 
of the employer's reference, tax district and the temporary national 
insurance number. Retain the P45 which will be issued on leaving employment.

It is unlikely the National Insurance contributions will be repaid but, 
depending on your place of permanent residence and the availability of a 
social security treaty with your home country, they may available for 
credit their.
