in Cutting tax
Approximately three months ago, I realised that my employer had been deducting tax for a Health Insurance policy I had not had with them for over three years. Realising via an on-line salary tax calculator that I'd been paying out about £7 a month in additional tax, I contacted my employers salary Dept. They realised the mistake and I received a rebate within my February Salary for the current financial year (06/07)., which looked to be correct, by my calculations.
I then contacted my tax office in regard to overpayments for 04/05 & 05/06, who acknowledged the claim and told me it would take up to eight weeks to deal with.
I called yesterday and was seriously questioned over why I thought I had a rebate due to me? They stated that they thought I might have underpaid! I was told they would write to me requesting my current P60 and I should return it for them to investigate.
Anyway, this morning I received a letter headed "Income Tax Repayment" asking me to send them my P60. It says "You may be due a repayment of Income Tax", but after yesterday's conversation, is this just a ruse to get me to comply immediately?
There is no mention of previous years tax rebates and I am confused as to why this is not mentioned?
Anyone know what I should do next?

I have applied and received rebates in the past and have found HMRC nothing but helpful and efficient, especially when it comes it previous years. Personally I would send in your P60 with a covering letter, as they will already have your previous years tax info from the P14s.
Out of interest, was the health cover not on your P45 every year?Today is the first day of the rest of your life0
