Taxman sent me a letter...

.... and inside was a cheque for £3500!! :eek:

Back in january the payroll department at work contacted me to say they thought my tax code was wrong. They gave me a form to fill in and sent it off. Turns out I had been on BR tax code for over 3 years since leaving my second job.

That will teach me to check my payslips more often!

Now the question is what shall I spend it on

Anyone else ever had a nice suprise from mr HMRC?

3 years?! how on earth did you not notice? I've not touched mine since starting new job back in august, so expecting a cheque soon

Jeebus, I was impressed with my £838 tax rebate!

Ignore the people who will come after me and tell you to save it.

It's money you didn't expect, so do something unexpected with it

Safari? Sky diving lessons? Nice guitar?

Buy a pig farm in Devon.

Funny, taxman sent me a letter saying I owe money. And alas, I do.

Does your postman always deliver at midnight?

you could give the £10 to each of the first 200 people that post in this thread, and £100 to the 10th poster

Why isnt the first thing people do when they get a new to check their Pataliputra to ensure they're getting paid properly?

Don't people budget?

I had a large check a few years ago and I bought a 43 inch pioneer tv with it

I have had the tv now 5 years and it was worth every penny.
