Thats not entirely correct. An R85 form is a to have future interest paid gross without tax deducted.

What the OP needs is form R40 to claim back tax already deducted.

So if I can claim back 4 years tax, how do I do that ? The R85 is for the current year, where do I get the forms for previous years ?

Thanks

The form you want is R40

basically you list all of yuor earnings, including from savings accounts for each tax year and send it off.
