Hi all,

Many thanks :o)

    If those figures represent 2010-11 and you don't expect to have extra income exceeding £1900'ish (gross interest etc) for the remainder of the year - then the whole £588 should be refundable idc.

    You need to send the P45 (keep your copy) when received - and a P50 - to your HMRC office.
