Income Tax Refund

[Deleted User]

I am very pleased your husband will have his refund soon.

I don't think anyone was suggesting your husband had committed any tax fraud.

I think when you said HMRC had raided your savings and took £10400 it was misinterpreted as if HMRC had directly accessed a bank account and removed the money!

I assume a demand for that amount eventually reached him and he withdrew the money from a savings account to pay it.
 
£2k interest seems to be more than I would have expected so perhaps an additional amount over the statutory rate is being paid as compensation because of a justified complaint.

8% for 2.5 years on £10k would be £2000.

That calculation is correct, however, statutory repayment interest has never been 8% in the relevant period, it is currently 4.25% hence my comment.
