Explain ?

I already had a rebate this year. Just phone your local tax office and ask them. I've always found them really helpful.

Apparently a lot of us have been paying the wrong tax Skylark, because of a new computer system brought in by the Inland Revenue. I'm watching Sky News now and supposedly 4.5 mill have been underpaying  and they're going to get letters on Tuesday and it will have to be paid back over a year. However, less than that have been overpaying and may get a rebate of about £400 per person.

ok thanks, i know there is a review for working tax credits, a lot of people i know didnt get paid this week. One girl was really on her uppers she phoned all day and couldnt get thru, then eventually she was told because her child was 16 she may not get anymore money...no warning at all

Oops, I didn't get the figures the right way round

Sorry couldnt get the link

Oh, hang on. I had trouble trying to post it too. I'll try again

Try that Skylark

Thanks got it , oh i hope i get a rebate, but what if i dont and i owe them ???

As it's their mistake I think the sods should write it off 

Then, apparently you have to pay it back in installments next year if I read it right

Zackly Pengy! They're so bloody quick to take it off us

Another worry , dont know why i bother working to be honest, people on benefits seem to have an easy ride ..dont pay rent, only a part of council tax...oh i wont go off on one ......

Get out your P60.....see what you earned before tax, deduct your allowance...then take 20% of the rest...that's the PAYE you should have paid...then compare it to the figure on the P 60...they should be the same.
This is only the tax due on income....other income has to be taken into account for your total tax liability.

I know Skylark, but there are decent people on benefits through no fault of their own. I myself was made redundant three years ago after 30 years of service with the same company. I hated being on benefits and luckily enough I managed to get a job about a year ago. It's not the same for everyone though. It's the peeps who abuse the system and don't want to work that really get my goat

oh i know onetoo, thats why i get so mad, the genuine ones get punished while the others make it so hard for them , i have a few neighbours say to me in the morning, oh i wouldnt be going out working at this time My legs are getting bad with arthritis and i really should be on the sick, but dont know where to start.....

Deleted my post there, was having a rant

LOL, we're all allowed them every now and again
