I got a letter from HMRC this morning
It stated that I had paid too much tax and they were sending a cheque for the overpayment that would arrive in the next fortnight
What caused hilarity in the hovel was the Bull saying it was most likely a demand for money
I read the first sentence and collapsed in a heap of giggles
The princely sum of £14.60 is winging its way to me
See - sometimes the taxman does offer refunds!
I got one before I had really started work! I had been working in Sainsbury’s for a Christmas job for two weeks when I got a letter from HMRC telling me they owed me fifty quid or so. I queried it, and they got all sniffy with me and said it was not possible to adjust payments, so I fed it into my bank and said no more. My wage at the time was about twenty quid, well below the tax threshold, so I found it a bit surprising.
I never question the government giving me money
I only asked them about it because I was afraid they might demand it back after I had spent it.
So that you can avoid being in the bath just then?
Ooo how wondrous is modern delivery and its accurate time for completion
Alas, my bathroom lacks a time machine .
