Another update,

Still no joy from HMRC so, another phone call later, i find out that i wont get it for another 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

Reason? - They have picked me for security checks to confirm that i am who i say i am!!!!

Cant see why it would take to ****ing weeks.

Still, they are going to pay me interest of,,,£9!!!!!

Generous or what.

If we dont pay what we owe by end of feb, they can fine us £100 and charge interest of 5%, does the same apply if they dont pay us what they owe............think not eh!!

In the past when i was unemployed, i paid up all my tax but was a little late and they charged me 100.

I never, ever paid it, told them i didnt have a job and eventually they credited it.

Apparently, there is a loophole in this charge which basically means they cant force you to pay.

BUT, that was a while ago, and i DO NOT recommend anyone tries it now.

I got my letter in the post from HMRC that stated how much I was due as a refund and then the cheque came in the post from them the week after, only took a few days to clear! :hurray:

a bit quicker than this 2 year old thread, then.

Yes! Omg I didn't even notice that - i'm new to this forum thing. Whoops!

The cheque would definitely be lost in the post if it took two years to surface :tongue3:
