Understood. I just wondered what issues were driving people to be this organised. Given my income from savings interest, I'm unlikely to get a refund, just a mild reduction of tax due.

Most people who post on the thread will be working in the construction industry and have a flat rate tax deducted at source, either 20% or 30% I think.

correct, deducted 20% at source as CIS nett status. No adjustments for personal allowance and lots of expenses as a carpenter joiner for travel and tooling. Therefore most years, a small to medium refund is pretty much guaranteed. Especially if you gross less than the upper tax bracket (because personal allowance is not taken into account for the initial deduction).

this year however, two companies I worked for, both went into administration while owing me £11k between them, and both submitted CIS certificates even though they then didn’t pay the nett amount due. So this year has been bad.

Silver lining is that CIS contributions have been recorded, and nett loss recorded as bad debt. Hopefully end the tax year on a small rebate on that misfortune.
