I really need to do this, who/where do I send the letter?

nick8saff

I used tax rebate services but they took 30%. Still had near £600 though

HM revenue and customs, P A Y E and self assessment, po box 1970, liverpool L75 1WX. Thats where i sent mine to and you can only claim back as far as the 5th april 2006 alot of people go with them companys that do it for you for 20% but fook that if you do it yourself you get the lot

Nice one, did you send off all your receipts? and ifso did you get them back?

Derby_Gav

Tax office are really playing silly beggers at the moment!

My self assesment has been in since april and I haven't had anything back yet and they are on my back because of my VAT yet they haven't sent me the password I need to sort it out. They keep threatening to take my belongings!!

HMRC = Thieves above the law*

*until I get all my money off them, then they will be ok!

I got a full list off each which showed everything i had got off of them. Then sat down and sorted out a list for each year and totalled it up so they had a list for 2006 with a total and so on and so on the lists from the tool dealers where there as proof then i just did a note with my name address national insurance number and basic details on it telling them who i worked for and i wonted to claim back the tax on my work tools i had payed for over the years

Will ask my snap on man then, Cheers for that!
Shame I didnt do this years ago as my tool buying has slowed down inthe last few years

I used this company.on line it says you can only go back 6 years,but when I spoke to the company they said they could get me as far as my paper work went back to,so instead off getting around £500 back , a cheque arrived on Friday for £1800!!!!

ajamesc

carnt see how that works as the inland revenue will only let you go back as far as 5th april 2006! for me anyway as you can only claim back 6 years i think

danneth

Mine was ready and waiting online hit the submit button as soon as it allowed me to and money in the bank 4 days later !

tay14

That's what I thought, last week there's was 10 statements all from the inland revenue,one for each year my snap on statements go back for,showing my earnings,how much tax paid and how much spent on tools.

ajamesc

odd one that when i did mine i dident know how far back i could claim so i sent them everything but there was 3 years worth of bills they couldent use

tay14

I thought the same but they said there was away of claiming it all back.

ryan72

What company did you use?

fuzzy

do it yourself on line ,its not rocket science. you dont pay a middle man a fee , the inland revenue will help if you require . last year i did mine and had the rebate paid directly int my account within 6 days. i need to sort out this years asap.

ajamesc

i wouldent use a company its a right rip off they 20-30% do it your self

ryan72

so go on inland revenue website?

ryan72

Because I cant find where to do it online

mercury grey minter

Link to web page for claiming please.

fuzzy

its part of the inland revenue self assesment.

ajamesc

i find there web sight a total maze lol wrighting a letter is just as easy and to be honnest i wouldent wont to put 6 years worth of buying tools onto the web sight id be there for days lol
