Tax rebate SUCCESSES

charliebluefish

I have successfully claimed back £5000 from HMRC because I had been put on the wrong tax code and had been overpaying by about £100 per month.

This is from a period of overpaying for 4.5 years.

It is not a coincidence that we are going to the Maldives for our honeymoon later this year.

:T

That is all.

Can anyone help me work out how much tax I will have to pay for the above years. I am 64 yrs old, still working and have frozen my state pension.

My income:
Widows pension £35.00 per month (I am not taxed on this income)
My salary £800.00 per month (I am taxed on this income)

I am not sure what my code is!

Widows pension from 30 years ago, and still getting even though I remarried 26 years ago.

Thanks
Sandy

Hi all,

Hope somebody can please help me. I started my current job last year in October and have been paying tax ever since but have been on the correct tax code (647L). However, I have not earned up to this amount and am due a tax rebate, so today I called up my local tax office and asked them about this. They have told me that they have me registered as unemployed and that my current employer has not informed the inland revenue that I have been working for them. The tax office then told me I need to wait until I receive my P60 and then they will look in to the matter. Could anyone please guide me as to what I may be able to do regarding this matter, as I am happy to wait until I get my P60 but am a little worried that my employer has not informed the inland revenue.

I would sincerely appreciate any help/ advice.

Many thanks,

I suppose it depends how big your company is (how many employees), but I would think most employers would send the relevant paperwork to HMRC before your first pay date. Small companies with less than 50 employees may operate in a different way.

Was this your first ever job ?

If not your first job, did you hand in a form P45 to your new employer ?

If no P45, did you complete a form P46 at your new employer.

If your new employer were aware that you had no other income in this tax year, so your total earnings from all jobs (or JSA) this tax year, was below £6475, then I believe that if your employer was operating the payroll correctly, then you should get any overpaid tax back in your final pay packet. But if they have not informed HMRC that you have started work there, then it is possible they are not operating the payroll in this way.

Have you checked your National Insurance number is recorded correctly on your pay slips ?

It may be okay to wait until you receive your P60 since your employer should be issuing the P60 soon anyway, but check that your National Insurance number is correct on the P60 too.

Hi i have checked my tax code & its 459L instead of 647L (747L now),i have rang the local tax office & he said yes we will look at it as you have over paid.
I think the reason it is low is because back in 2007 i had a company car,i got rid of it in that year,and looks as though tax code stayed the same.....my question is will they just check last tax year or a few years back?

Cheers

Is this possible? Can HMRC get it so wrong that they are claiming back tax from a semi-retired lady of nearing the sums of £7-8000?

Is there a way of disputing this? what can i do to help my mum with this inconvenience?

any help would be appreaciated, thanks!

As we now have the world's most complicated tax system - even worse than India - you need to find out how HMRC has allowed this tax collection deficit to build up.

Can you reconstruct your mother's taxable income for these years?

P60's ?
State Pension ?
Age notification?
Dividends.
Savings interest
etc
etc.

When something similar happened to my mum, she went storming in to the local tax office, banged the table and launched into
"I'm an old lady of 73, I cannot understand this rubbish, I've always paid my taxes on time, I pay through PAYE..........."

and she heard no more about it.

I don't think you can get away with that technique these days.

[I am talking about 15 or so years ago - the next year she retired and I persuaded her to let me do her tax return to reclaim the "new" 10% tax band for her. In all probability the tax man had been correct: Her combination of various small pensions and still working part time had pushed her over the point where the pensioner's additional personal allowance gets clawed back - a complex situation that means pensioners currently get taxed at 30% not the usual standard rate of 20%.]

If you can find more information about your mum's income for each tax year (6th to 5th April), it would be best to start your own thread and post these details.
