Tax rebate SUCCESSES

Another success story! My tax should be straight forward, I work for one company and have done for years, I pay standard rate tax and am taxed at source yet my code was wrong. I had been taxed for non-existent work benefits. Looking forward to the refund, thanks MSE!

I recently downloaded and used your Extra Statutory Concession - A19 template letter to try and get HMRC to write off a tax underpayment of £3,550.

After personalising the letter I sent if off in the unlikely hope that they would accept that they had had all of my tax information but hadn't used it properly, or in a timely manner.

I've just had confirmation from them that they have agreed not to take this further, I'm no longer required to pay the tax!

I'd just like to warmly thank you and the Low Income Tax Reform Group as without your help I would be £3,550 worse off!

Keep up the good work!

OMG, After reading your thread i decided to request a rebate after thinking I was owed around two thousand. Had a letter on Monday from HMRC to advise that they have looked into 3 tax years 08-09, 09-10, 10-11.. Wow Wow Wow in total i have overpaid by £10343.67. Well i actually laughed not believing that the tax man would EVER consider giving this money out and 3 cheques landed on my doorstep today, I have never moved to the bank so quick in all my life.. Thank you Martin for such an amazing site, without this site I wouldnt of had a clue about this and would be non the wiser. Im so happy roll on tues when they clear whooooooo hooooooo thank you soooooo much

Well my life 14 months ago was a picture of wedded bliss and financially things were quite nice - nice life, nice cars, nice income, nice jobs and most of all beautiful baby boy. Then the bubble burst and all the above went up in flames.....que redundancy and marriage breakdown and to add insult to injury an absolute big fat zero financial help for day to day stuff but more so for our boy. Desperate times......
Que the loudest DRUM ROLL...............today I received a cheque for a tax rebate in the handsome and most welcomed sum of £4,176.09!!!!!!!! Can you believe that....Wahooooooooo........and chink chink (corporation pop though!!!)

I was told there was a difference of £135 so after half an hour of being on hold the tax office told me I was on the right tax code so not sure why there was this difference??

just been having a quick read through. The other day hubby got a cheque for £255 ( the tax code checker said £55) but he used one of those companies and they took 40% but the refund was only for tax year 08/09

so we know there are the other years to check, hubby has got all his p60's but we don't want to use this company again ( his work collogues used this company and were getting £800 and more back)

question - what is p2 , where does he get it from?
question - what is p800, where does he get it from?

he is employed but which tax office does he contact? local or off the code from the employer?

what does he need to do now, does he need to print off any forms from the HMRC website? or can it all be done by telephone?

sorry for all the questions.
thanks

P2 is a Notice of Coding.....telling him his tax code number

P800 is issued if you are undepaid (possibly also when overpaid?) , he will be sent one if they have worked out that he has paid the wrong amount.

Contact tax office as given on pay slip or notified by employer.

If he has overpaid, he can write in to request refund, or ring.

Have you worked out how much he should pay compared to what he has paid?

No need to pay anyone to do it, it is quite easy to do yourself.

Thanks Martin

I followed your tax code finder and as a result of that I have been in touch with my husbands tax office and they agreed that he had paid to much tax for the last 2 years and we have had two rebates one for £420 and one for £415 are we happy you bet we are.

This was because they had not given him the extra allowance when he reached 65

so once agian thank you and its all free what more can one say

Kidest regards

Encouraged by your site and using advice from a tax specialist (cost £50), I successfully fought off claims from the Tax office for over £5500 dating back to 2006. I used ESC A19 as they had been told of all of the changes to benefits in kind but had incorrectly worked out my tax codes.

It took one letter only and I would encourage anybody to fight it off as the legal thieves are too busy to chase those people that do fight.

Hi,
Was put on hold for 20 mins by HMRC, but found the advisor helpful when put through. I found that my code ,603L should have been 747L (mistake by my employers payroll who said I got medical insurance- this was news to me!).My code is now being changed and a refund is being calculated, they said a couple of weeks to recieve officical confirmation of amount.
Do not be put off by hanging on the line, it was worth my while!
thanks to this website and other blogs, to actually get money back is a unique experience for me!
