I do feel virtuous; I completed my tax return

[KatyMac]

Nothing at all to do with the tax refund I will get.................

A well spent 8 hours

Dh did his early this year due to a refund too!

Daft aren't we?

Not really - my CIS boys all get theirs done in May / June as they are often owed thousands

Dumb question - do you get the refund as soon as you've filed (or at least once they've checked it), or do you have to wait until after the deadline? I'm due a whacking refund and I've more or less completed mine for tax credits purposes but I haven't filed it yet.

refund comes through the system once the return is filed, so the earlier you file the earlier you will get the refund.

Oh thanks. Good to know.

About 3-10 days after I submit it (normally) straight into the bank with a statement following about a week later

Over £1000 takes a couple of weeks - depending on your return history
smaller ones are around 10 working days
WELL WORTH submitting early

My problem is I do OU, so my weekends are spent doing that. This was the first weekend I had no coursework
