A word of advice, do not use a company such as Refund Directs to claim a tax repayment. It really is a simple thing to do yourself, and people on here will be more than willing to tell you what you need to do. RD cannot claim back more than you are due, they cannot increase any repayment and cannot claim interest or expenses that you are not entitled to claim yourself.

I left the UK end of August 2005, finishing work at the start of July. I was out of the country for a year, when I got back I contacted the IR filled out a form, P80? (Not sure, and sent them my P45) 2 months later got a cheque for all the tax I overpaid. Very easy process, no phone calls ect...

Anyone who rang the tax office and sorted it yourselves, how long did it take for you to get the money back?

Just after a rough timescale

thanks

Depends on the back log of work, don't expect anything before 6-8 weeks, if you do it's a bonus!:o

HI, My wife has just had one of these refund direct forms supplied by her employer. Which we wont be sending off.
If we do contact the IR direct, what exactly will they need to know?

( Apologies if I missed this earlier somewhere, but i find tax matters, well, taxing).

I contacted the Inland Revenue today and now I'm more confused than ever. Maybe someone here could help.
My husband died in November 06 and due to him having a small pension scheme I elected to take a lump sum of £6715.97 instead of a silly amount each month. The Friends Provident took tax of £2527.36 and sent me a cheque for the difference with a P45.
The inland revenue have stated that i need to send them a letter giving them details of all my earnings for 06/07. But heres the problem what do I need to tell them??
I don't work as I have been a stay at home mum for the last 20 years (lucky me). However I now receive Widowed Parents Allowance.
My mum died in Dec 06 (three weeks after my husband) and I inherited £23000 as a share of the sale of her property. Do they need to know this??
I also received £2454. from our endowment policy which paid off our mortgage.
During the year 06/07 I had no benefits paid in my name they were all in my husbands i.e DLA and income support. I only received Child Tax Credit in my name.
Please help, not sure who to tell what!!!!

The information from her P60 which gives the amount of taxable income plus tax paid for the tax year.

From what you are saying:

1. The inheritance from mum is tax-free.
2. Your husbands DLA was tax-free but this is not of relevance nor is his income support because they were not yours.
3. The endowment payoff does not need to be mentioned.
4. Child tax credit is tax-free
5. The only thing I can see to mention is the pension payout, so looking on the bright-side you should get a tax refund...BUT I suspect you'd prefer the husband and mum to the money, it sounds like a rough year to me...
