Tax rebate for the mother in law - advice please

in Cutting tax
Hi
Trying to help out my mother in law here.
She was made redundant at the end of April 2006, from a place where she had worked for years.
Understandably she took a little while to get other work, and probably started and finshed about 3 before sticking with the two part time ones she currently has.
Her problem at the moment is that she is due a lot of tax back from the IR, and is having a real stressful time with them getting it back.
I worked out she has earned roughly #9100 in tax year 06/07, and paid #2150 in income tax. I reckon she's due back around #1500 or so.
The thing is, the majority of this comes from the holiday pay and notice she received when she left work, so she has really been waiting about a year for her money. She doesn't earn much, and is getting taxed (i think) too much on her current jobs.
She doesn't really have much confidence in dealing with the tax office, and I think they have picked up on this and really not been very helpful at all.
As the tax year 06/07 is now finished, I thought a cheque may be forthcoming, but she's been told to send in her P60s when they arrive and they'll take it from there.
Is that right - is there not a quicker way to do this? She has almost all the payslips from the jobs held over the last year and I can help her fill in any forms she needs filling in.
My own experiences with the tax office have been mainly positive, but did learn that you have to be very proactive and do your homework, as they will deal with your case more effectively if you know what you're talking about.
Sorry, I'm rambling...just wondered if anyone could offer advice on whether I could do anymore more to help her speed up the process...
Thanks for listening.

What HMRC has told her is correct. The normal procedure is to wait for the P60s and then apply for a rebate. They will not accept pay slips normally although they did accept one from my son when he manged to lose his P60 and had waited weeks for his employer to issue a replacement.
If m-i-l doesn't feel confident about speaking to them ,she could start off the conversation and then pass it over to you to deal with on her behalf. She may not wish to do this of course.0 -
