Shout out for the unexpected tax refund

[whatshallIdo1]

Just when you think you probably won’t get one, you get the unexpected letter and it feels like Christmas!

Aw lovely. Treat yourself to something nice.

Yay!

A similar thing happened to me, except it really WAS Christmas and it was just amazing. I had reported a change to Tax Credits 2 years earlier and they hadn't changed my payments (I hadn't a clue I was entitled to it) so they owed me £3k and it landed in my bank 2 weeks before xmas. I hadn't been expecting a penny.

Woohoo!

Thanks .

Wow @BlondeBumshelll that must have been amazing.

Mine is £237 but welcome all the same. It would go towards a new bathroom, but the summer holidays have left me a bit skint, so it has to go into my current account.

Still great though.

I just got one too! Absolutely buzzing!

Another shout out here!! Letter came yesterday. I've been overcharged by £700. Cheque will arrive early November.

Mine was something like £4413.31

I got a rebate of £2,500 once just before Xmas it was lovely we had already bought most of the presents so we bought a new bed and booked a holiday , i got a rebate again about 3 years ago for £250 which was nice .

Humph.. somehow or other my tax has been messed up this year.

HMRC have informed me that I will pay £50,000 tax this year and issued a terrifying new tax code starting with a K.

I'd love to be able to pay that much tax but unfortunately I earn substantially less than that so would be working at a loss of over £25k a yea My employers trying to sort it out with them - it looks like a problem with HMRC as all the employers records are correct...

Perhaps my next letter will contain better news

Have to say though the staff on the helpline are lovely - they just can't help :(
