Help!!


We (hubby actually) claimed this back in April, his tax office is Liverpool.
After several chasing-up phone calls we are getting nowhere.

I've found all his P60's for the last 7 years & we have the relevant ones for the tax years of 2001/2002 and 2002/2003.

His tax code for 2002/2003 is 938, i think, so i'm assuming the tax relief has been applied for that year.

The year in question is 2001/2002. Qualifying for the tax relief doesn't appear to be a problem...they've told us it seems we're entitled to it. However......despite him having P60's for 2001/2002 and the previous year 2000/2001...and being in the same job for the last 22 years......they are now saying because they have no records, he must have been working abroad & have sent him a P85 (Leaving the UK) and a P86 (arrival in the UK)

The only time he's ever left the country in his 38 years is for a fortnight's holiday

The last time he phoned, they asked for all the details on his P60 for 2001/2002 and STILL they send these forms.


Help me someone.......i just want them to send the flamin' cheque!:D

Thanks for trying to help Llyllyll...but it doesn't come under any of those.

It's a definate tax allowance that was applied to your tax code, so doesn't fit into any of those categories sadly

Hi

After reading the posts about Childrens Tax Credits on here, we wrote to our local tax office on the off chance, not expecting anything really, got a letter today saying we are due a refund of £520, for 2001-2002, so a great big thanks to everyone.

really confused. i have been reading on another web forum that i should only claim for the youngest child. shouldnt i just tell them about all of my children?

the reason they have said is because its double between a certain year and if i tell them about older children it will be the standard £545.

i think i am staring to really confuse myseld here.

please help

i have 3 children oct 1997,may 2001 and july 2003.
