Question regarding chasing up my tax return

indierocker85

Hi guys

I sought advice on here regarding sending my P60 off and getting a tax refund which I had been told wa due to me.

So, I was basically advised to send a cover letter and my p60 to the address of the office my employer uses (Young Street, Sheffield).

However, I haven't yet heard anything, so I am wondering if anybody knows of a number I can ring to chase them up?

Or what is best to do?

It could take 10 weeks so don't expect an answer straight away. If you go on the HMR&C website where you found the address there is also a contact phone number you can chase it up on.

I heard someone from HMRC on Watchdog say that it is a minimum of 40 day wait for a reply to a letter. They are grossly understaffed and still picking up the pieces from the major errors of new computer system, so don't hold your breath.

Hey, I firstly sent my p60 and detailed where I worked and hnow much I had earned.

Then I sent a letter voluntarily detailing benefits received before starting this job, as this would have been taxable income.

Yet I have just received a letter this morning, with just my P60 in it, and a "with compliments slip.

It is stamped "Inland Revenue, Humber Area, Cherry Court, 36 Ferensway, Hull, HU2 8AD"

It does have a reference on, but thats all, no phone number or anything.
I am keen to chase this up to make sure they have got all the relevant info.

Can anyone help me?
Thank you

Dropped off an R40 form at local tax office on 10th June, received cheque today, pretty good going for the Revenue

Have you tried filling in form R40? That is all I did, it is a very simple form.

Yes it is very easy, just follow the instructions in the Notes for completing form R40, any thing paid net/gross of tax just needs putting in the relevant boxes, no paperwork needs to be sent with it.

Where would this be sent to?
