If after filing your tax return online and the Tax office owes YOU money when do you get the money if you have requested being paid it as a lump sum ?

Ages……

I just got a cheque this week after submitting all the info in March. You do get a small additional payment in lieu of interest too.

How much are you expecting?

About five past twelve.

£12.05

Erm should be in the hundreds 🙂

Now I should put into saving but maybe it might go on bike stuff 😉

They tend to owe me money every year – couple of hundred or so. It's always been within a couple of weeks.

There is a simplified reclaim process for people on PAYE/ tax deducted at source only so you don't need to mess around with tax returns etc.

Just phone your tax office or check the HMRC website – http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/incometax/overpaid-thro-job.htm#3

I got overpaid tax back a couple of years ago within about a month of having my P46 – decided it was easier to do that than try to reclaim at the time, and it covered summer holiday spending money very nicely indeed.

Shame I'm not due a refund now really!

Sorry Fat Elvis – I was told to fill one out by the tax office – I was on PAYE 🙂 Cheers Cheshire Cat 🙂
