got a tax rebate
 

hiya people, just had to share my good news. while at work we were all checking our pay statments and I noticed that I pay £150 a month tax more than everyone else. my tax code is BR (bloody ridiculous) I assumed it was because I was in receipt of tax credits. anyway phoned pay office to be told it stands for basic rate. I then phoned tax office and I have a cheque winging its way to me for 2 years overpayment of tax and when I get P60 in a couple of weeks I have to send that off and get another years tax refunded then get a new tax code. so not only will wages increase by £150 each month approx I will also get thousands in lump sums. woohoo happy happy bunny. not selling bike anymore or kids :p

Whoo Hoo!!!! Congrats!!!! :rave:


I always check my tax coding and tax like a hawk, I'm tight that way, don't like them getting a cent more than absolutely needed.

BR being Basic Rate or "emergency tax." It's the tax rate you pay when they haven't sat down, put a finger in the air & said that you should be paying £250/month :D

I wouldn't expect thousands, maybe a couple of hundred, but certainly not thousands.

Congrats though anyway :)
