Thank you Mr Taxman for the lovely gift! I’m not used to your generosity! And on Xmas eve!

Not a huge amount, but it’s better than a kick in the balls! 🙂

Nice!

My wife just got a £530 refund!

I’m just waiting for the letter saying I owe £600!

I got a refund of £11 couple of weeks ago. from years ago when i was working part time so i could have fun with my life.

I just got £224 from them, merry Xmas Mr tax man 🙂

I got one from 2005 a couple of weeks ago, no rush then eh… 😉

My MRS got £104 yesterday, and one of my mates got £1400!!

HMRC are being very generous this year. Wait until the “other” letters start being distributed, though…

I got £1,000 from them a few weeks ago, definitely an unexpected surprise 😀

These are refunds from last tax year? I shall look forwards to a very merry xmas next year in that case (the refund I’m likely to be due should dwarf all of yours!)

Ahha! I got a tax calculation from the Inland Revenue yesterday from 07/08 – it totally baffled me and I thought I owed over 1700 notes…then today I get a cheque from them for said amount, lubbly jubbly 🙂

Not tax as such, but a month ago I got a call from the Inland Revenue here in NZ asking me if I new that I was elligible for a working for families tax credit (single parent, two kids, shared care). I answered by saying what I’d been told by them three and a half years ago when I originally applied which was that “I didn’t qualify”.
Well! it turns out what I was told then was wrong, and I did/do qualify and would I like to apply? (approx $160 each fortnight- starting next week if you’d like, thankyou very much, I say) “Oh! and if you fill in the forms we’ll send to you then it can be back dated to 2008” ($10-11,000)

Got a grand a couple of weeks ago / which paid for the excess on the bike insurance and some upgrades to replace my stolen pride and joy That went two weeks before!

These are refunds from last tax year?

Not for me, mine was from 05/06 and 06/07

Nice to hear a few folks are receiving rather than owing.

I was the same as Royston. My letter looked like I owed them the £400. There was no R which was meant to mean it was a refund. The cheque was in amongst the paperwork.

I hope my Mrs doesnt get hers and we owe them!

Just had a refund through for 07/08 tax year – very nice little Christmas present indeed. Good PR move to send them all out this week, assuming there aren’t a load of overpayment demands too?

I got one from 2005 a couple of weeks ago, no rush then eh…

I hope you charged them interest on that late repayment!

I know I’m owed from 2010-2011, anyone know how likely I am to have to chase it myself? I haven’t yet since if I did, I’d just spend it

I hope you charged them interest on that late repayment!

I have to assume you *are* kidding, right? 😉

Duffer – the “other” letters have started already, got mine last week, not too heavy but not much Christmas cheer 🙁

just received a £181 refund notification from the tax man today from the 2007/2008 tax year 😆

wasn’t all that good news as some of that will be going towards this mornings dentist visit 😕

Yep me too had over a grand back so far, happy days 😀

yep another here had 953 quid cheque arrive on 19th .. not cashing it till new year though too much temptation for easy come easy go spending .. Pays for alps in July !

edit was from 06/7 and was contracting up till 09 so hopes for more !
