Have paid too much tax - how will I be refunded?

Hi there.

I've received a letter from HM Revenue stating that I paid too much tax back in 2008, and that I am to be repaid £600.

However, it doesn't state in the letter when or how I will be repaid.

Does anyone know if the repayment comes in the form of a cheque, or whether it's simply added to my next wages? And does anyone know the timeframe, please?

Knowing this will help me factor it into my budget. I tried calling the helpline but after 20 minutes in the queue I simply gave up!

Thanks in advance.

    If you look at the cover on the P800 + the 'Notes' ........ it's fairly clear?
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
