Tax owed to US???? do we get a cheque????

[ZipadiSuzy]

We are owed Tax from self employed business, do the Inland Revenue pay us, or do they deduct x amount from our tax bill next year?

Depends how much it is, if it's a small amount they'll hold it over, if its' a bit more you get a lovely cheque.

Its under 1,000 but its alot to us, as dh had an accident and was off work for a month, being a self employed gardener, its taken its toll on the amount of money we had saved for the winter quiet period, so to get a cheque would be lovely and then we wouldn't have to get a business loan to tie us over. Its a hand to mouth business!

I had tax due more than £50 less than £1000. Nothing was comoing so I rang they said oh sorry, glad you reminded us and cheque arrived that week. Nver had any hassle dealing with tax people either as an employee or self employed.

They do seem very helpful, I will give them a ring, thanx

I had tax due as an employee, I had completely forgotten and didn't claim - they wrote to me to clarify that I hadn't used up my tax free allowance but had been taxed. When I confirmed, they sent me a cheque for the amount quickly.
