I used blue ink and didn't use capitals lol ,they sent me another form to fill out ,I filled that out correctly ,sent it back ,I know they received it ,but still waiting ...frustrating as I helped several friends fill theirs in after I sent mine off and they all received their cheques last week ,I guess its just pot luck x

I can't remember having CPP but I filled in the form anyway, I thought maybe I'd paid £10 once and then cancelled so wasn't expecting anything much.

Got a cheque this weekend for £92, which appears to relate to two policies :-)

Nice little bonus for the Easter holidays - yay!

I filled in my form thinking I wouldn't be getting very much if anything, as I am sure most of mine was before 2005. But no a cheque has arrived today for £433.19. I was completely shocked. Even thought I wouldn't bother filling in the form as honestly thought I wouldn't get anything.
So am very happy. :j

My elderly mother received a CCP cheque today which states that 20% tax was deducted. She is not a tax payer anyway, but has anyone else had this? Who does the tax go to and on what justification? The accompanying letter says 5 days to accept or lose it so she's under pressure to decide what to do.

Edit, just found article explaining the 20% on interest part.

Think my mother got a bit confused now I need to see whole CCP statement.

Looks like one has to request a certificate of tax deducted from the CCP agency.

Like all taxation it goes to the coffers of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The "justification" is that the interest is taxable.

As your Mother is not a taxpayer, she can apply to HMRC for a refund. CPP can do nothing to reverse this payment.

Certificate of tax deducted needed in order to reclaim that tax though?

Thats a very general contact us link I already saw yesterday. Was it supposed to point to a help page about CCP refund tax?
