Whaddya reckon????

anybody know who to call, Liverpool tried a few no help.

Hi - I just called my local office. They told me my tax code was the basic code 461L for 2002/2003.

I asked if that would have been right and she said it probably would have been?! Then she told me to write in.

So, if I was a part-time worker earning about £9000 with a young child, separated so XH couldn't have claimed it, I am hoping my tax code was wrong and I will get something back!!

Will try again tomorrow, both dh and my tax code where 461L.
Me hoping too suprise

Confused now! Just chased up with local tax office and have been told a letter is on it's way to me asking for further information.

I don't know what they could need but I don't have my P60 or anything. I know I was earning just over £700 a month that year so should be eligible for it. And my tax code of 461L. Also, my hubby had left so he couldn't have claimed it.

But, on looking over previous bank statements, it says WFTC for Feb and March 03 and then just TAX CREDITS for April 03 onwards. I didn't claim tax credits for a year after XH left, I didn't know I could . I didn't claim at all until January 2003 and I do remember received some form of tax credit in my wages as well as in my bank.

Oh help, is this tax code completely separate from that??!!!

Oh, this is worth trying, ds1 was born March 03 and we didn't get anything for the first year after his birth. Fingers crossed!
