Quick one: rebate due from the Revenue

Ditzy_Mitzy

I'm due a rebate from the Revenue in recognition of an overpayment of income tax last financial year - received the letter yesterday.  Do I need to ring them to ask for a cheque to be sent, or is it done automatically?  Can't remember and it's quicker to ask on here than spend time hanging on the line to the tax people (lazy, I know!).  

The rebate has been prompted by submission of a Tax Return, by the way, and does not involve my employer directly.

Assuming the letter you received is your Self Assessment calculation (SA302) then you can check your Self Assessment account online and if it hasn't automatically been repaid you can provide bank details for it to be repaid to.

I think cheques are a last resort these days.

my last refund almost got to my account quicker than the letter to my home.

It was the Self-Assessment calculation, however I can't check online as my internet Self-Assessment account doesn't work!  It's a long story, but there's a technical problem at their end which cannot be fixed.  The Revenue's 'fix' is for me to file on paper...  I've spent hours on the phone to them trying to sort it, believe me.

Best time to phone is as sops as lines open.Startdiallong just beforehand so you are at the front of the queue.You May gay and answer shortly before then as sometimes there members of staff who have started work early.

the preferred method of refunding is by bank transfer.
