got a tax rebate

Erm, I don't usually check these things but after reading this thread.....


.....I've just found out that I've been on the emergency tax code 522L (previouly 503L) for the past 6 years!!!!! Now, does this mean I'm entitled to a rebate and should contact them, or should I stay quiet

BTW, congrats kitkat!!!

This depends on how much tax you've been paying, and how much you earn.

I'm currently on 503L and paying £161.11.

Knowingly paying too little tax counts as tax evasion, and brings VERY serious penalties. So, no comment.

From conversations I had with you down in London, I reckon you'd fall into Basic Rate tax (under £33k pa), which works out at roughly 22% of your gross pay. Work it out if you like. If you're paying more, complain, if you're not, well, the choice is yours

well going by what everyone else at work pays who are on similar wages to me, I have been over paying my tax by £150 per month for 3 years, it better be thousands back

Should be. £150 x 36 = £5400

Sounds like youre on a normal tax code which has been adjusted for some taxable benefits you receive. Nice try

quick question, do you get taxed on tax rebates?

no. it's overpayment being returned to you, not taxable income

Good for you! It's happened to me before, and it's a nice surprise when it happens.

Unfortunately they don't pay you any interest or compensation. If, on the other hand, you were to owe them money, even for a day.....

Fortunately, I have in my posession a letter a saying that, as long as my circumstances don't change, they will never trouble me again!

Wow, that is fantastic news. I am so happy for you. Not suprised about the over charging of tax though. But so chuffed for you that the bike does not have to go.

Does that mean that we will also see you at AE07
