Halifax P60

I have just received my Annual Reward Summary and was surprised to note Halifax have paid tax @ 20%.

I guess HMRC regard this as other income? Those who earn less than their tax allowance could reclaim a very small amount and those paying 40% will have an additional liability.

    It is indeed "other income" and treated for tax purposes as you indicate above.

    I did not think to include it in my tax return. Maybe I shall go to Jail like Lester?

    Yes Halifax do, if you earn less then the allowance you can claim it back using the R40 form, I have claimed back the £15 each year for the last five or so years.

    I have not had this years yet but will be doing the same when it does, I just put the 75p tax paid in the other box and claim back the total of £9 from the reward payment, for both accounts, minus the cost of the stamps to send the form in and the summary.
