Nice windfall.............

Had a VERY nice shock this week when I received a cheque in the post from the taxman for £2,500 from 2007/8. Never had a tax rebate in almost 30 years so naturally very chuffed.

Have since heard from a few other people who have had on in the last couple of weeks. Anyone know why they're dishing these out all of a sudden? Always thought that you had to apply for them.

Anyone else had on recently?




I'm now off the spend it all on a full tank of petrol.................................................

    Nice one Tango but I wonder why it took them 4 years to realise they owed you money? If it was the other way around you would probably have had to pay a penalty.

    My means tested student loan (back in 95) was woefully underpaid for the uni year. Couple of weeks before the year ends and I get a cheque for 820. Used the money to backpack round europe for the summer.

    Exactly the opposite: letter from the taxman recently saying that before I retired I hadn't been paying enough (their mis-calculation though they won't admit it) and I've got to pay it back at so much a month. Any chance of a sub?

    When I was 20 I got a rebate for £940. Spent it on a season ticket and a trip to Amsterdam. Good times!

    Would never happen to me as my accountant makes sure I don't pay any in the first place. :-)
