in Cutting tax
From the Halifax site:
I am a non-taxpayer (earning under the personal allowance) at present.
Am I correct in reading that I can put in a claim to HMRC for the overpayments Halifax have done on my behalf?
How long do I have to claim - can I leave it a few years and do it all in one go?
The £5 Reward payment is paid 'net' of income tax. This means we pay it after taking off income tax at the rate set by law (currently 20%). If you're a higher-rate taxpayer, you may have to pay extra income tax on the reward payment. The amount before we take off income tax is £6.25. You may reclaim tax from HM Revenue & Customs if the amount of tax we have taken off is more than you have to pay.

Why wait? Do a year at a time. You can reclaim £1.25 per month per account.0
