With it being blasted round the news I wondered if anyone had received anything.
I fully expect I will get one and no doubt I will owe them money!
I got a letter at the beginning of the year saying that I owed them money from a few years back.....
I called them to dispute this. I am lucky I get a few company "perks" one being a company car and one being private medical insurance (for me and my spouse - so in this case the ex! - Mr Looloo is yet to qualify until he decides to make an honest woman of me!). On these perks you have to pay tax.
Anyway I changed my car one year and also my "then" husband was on my medical insurance - but due to an error SOMEWHERE the correct info was not given to the tax office (although I am very confused by this as I get a P11D each year so have no idea how it happened but it did).
So for a couple of years I was on a K code (minus tax code) and was paying a huge amount in tax. Finally..... i gradually got up to a plus code (stating in single figures) and now I think it is correct as it is.
So I called them and said hold a moment, firstly how can I keep owing you money when I am PAYE? I don't get it? Also what were all the years I was on a K code in aid of if I still owe you money? So the girl I spoke to said OK I will open an investigation, and if you hear nothing more from us they take it that you don't owe us anything.
Well I did hear back – saying I was getting a refund…… it was £900 but minus some underpayments so I got about £450. Well I looked at the cheque, checked with our FD at work… kept looking at the cheque and waiting for them to say – O sorry you now owe us £4,000, nothing, so I cashed it and my tax code stayed the same.
In my opinion it is always worth checking with them if they say you owe them tax as in my case at that time it was obv a complete error on their part!
