Overpayment on tax

Recieved a letter today stating i had paid £15 in tax 2005/06 and £65 in 2007/2008 (i was only 15 in 2005 so not even sure why I was getting taxed at that age!!). So I'll get getting a nice £80 cheque.
Looking forward to that! My partner got £450 last year from overpaying.

Surprised they actually want to give you money back!

Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    Wouldn't matter if you were 15 months or 15, anyone under 65 has a personal allowance and if you have income of more than that you will pay tax.
