income tax letter am i likely to get a refund ??

kurjam

i apologise if this is in the wrong forum.

i started work in march this year for my current employer, found out in june i was pegnant and since august i have been off sick from work, but claiming sick pay from the jobcentre as my employer does not have to pay it to me....
any way i am starting maternity leave on december 7th and the jobcentre i hope will be paying me maternity allowance as my employer again cant pay this benefit....
today i get a letter from hm revenue and customs saying i could end up paying to much tax so please complete this form...it wants to know what i have been doing since april this year,
has any one else had one of these letters ?? do they send them out if they think they owe you money ??
thanks for any help

I had one of those and it was because I hadn't been working - ended up with a lovely refund!

The tax office just want to update their records. Any refund due will be paid by the JC either when you sign off or at the end of the tax year.

The part saying "you might be due a refund" while being possible, I think was just put on there to make people more willing to fill them in. It sounds better than them just saying "we want to update our records. We're not going to give you anything for doing it but please fill in this form."

Most people end up with a repayment after completion of P91/P92.
