Not sure if posted in right section. I recently received £5k from an ex mortgage lender (something to do with early repayment charges they took from me about 8 years ago!)
Very nice to receive I must say. They paid me back the charges plus interest. Tax was deducted and the letter says if your a tax payer you may be able to claim the tax back. I am a tax payer, but not sure how I go about this. Is this classed as income? And if so can I claim it back. I am a basic rate tax payer and to be honest I am only just over the threshold. Thanks
