Halifax refund - tax query

Premium refund - £288
APR - £283
Rebate - £4.50

Based on the above figures, could someone please help me work out what tax (if any) I need to pay? I currently am a low earner not paying tax if this makes a difference.

Thank you!

    In that case nothing and even if you were a tax payer you only pay tax on the 8% figure (20% of £4.50 = 90p) Halifax pay redress net anyway so they will have already taken the 90p off :) Keep it all ;)

    Thank you so much!!

    I had visions of paying 20% of the £283. I have the biggest grin on my face. I know it's only small fry compared to some refunds but it was only what I was due so I am happy :):)
