Tax Refund Dissappointment
10 Answers
Following advice from the Martyn Lewis MSE website, I found out that as I am a non-taxpayer, my husband could claim my tax allowance (marriage tax allowance). We were looking forward to approx £200 refund for this year and last year. Sadly not. In today's post, a brown envelope with a letter saying he owed HMRC approx £400 due to THEIR miscalculations for last 2 years. Not happy! If this claimed had not been made, it's quite likely that their error would never have come to light.

Earlier in the year I got a coding notice which was correct, 2 jobs, one on full allowance and the other on nil rate. When checking payslips at the beginning of the financial year I found that they had given both jobs full tax allowance. Rang them, they said sorry and that they'd sort it. Two weeks later still the same. Another long winded phone call where I was told the first call hadn't been actioned properly. She could see I called, understood what was wrong and couldn't believe that her colleague hadn't made the correction. The tax bill next year would have been horrendous if I hadn't spotted the mistake. Completely their fault as well, I mean who decides to change a tax code for no reason?
It does take time once the state pension comes into it as it is always paid gross and I am not sure they find out about this extra source of income until they see the P60s at year end. Maybe a tax code should have to be applied by the DWP when some draws their state pension (or gets JSA) just as is the case for other earnings/pensions
back in the days where there were local tax offices where you could pay your tax, I gave them a fat cheque to cover mine. At the end I got a tax demand for it. Checkign my statements, it turned out they'e never even presented it. Must have lost it.
Of course, if I was Amazon, they woudn't even have asked.
