self assesment online

Hi
wondering if anyone may be able to offer some advice..I recently filed my self assesment for tax year 07/08 online.Now in previous years ive done it paperwise and sent it however during that tax year i wasnt self employed and worked for a company on a PAYE scheme and earned way under the personal allowance for that year but paid over £400 in tax .my question simply is will i recieve that back and will it be done automatically? any replies would be seriously appreciated ...jim

At the end of your SA return it would have given you the figures - did it point to your being owed £400?

If so it will be refunded to you in whatever way you intimated on the form.

Therein lies the problem i never had an option to input any figures as they said they automatically calculate tax for you and as i wasnt self employed the only earnings were through PAYE and as i said i never used up my PA for the year...

My only earnings are through PAYE as well. I fill in a SA online each year as I have savings interest ect to declare. All figures are filled in. Why did you not fill in your figures for your PAYE job as it still counts?

how about ringing your local tax office and speaking to an advisor there - i did that and they were very helpful

Last time I was due a rebate I received it approx 10 days after filing my SA return.
