Hi all, trying to get my tax refund sorted still. Looking to pick some brains if possible.

One of my ex-employers, CityLink, for whom i worked in 2007 (2007/08 tax year) have some how ballsed my records up, and have me leaving in July 2008, falling in a different tax year. Obviously this is no real problem, but, they are trying to charge me £11.50 for a statement of earnings. They say they send a P45 out at the time, but i never received anything. Can they legally bum-rape me like this? frown

Can you not get the figures from elsewhere? Do you have your 2007/2008 P60? Do you have your payslips April - July 08?

Where did you work after you left Citylink, did you give your P45 to the new employer, do you have your 2008/2009 P60? This would show earnings from previous employment.

Your ex employers are taking the mickey charging £11.50, it would take them about 5 mins to print it for you, but I suppose if you really need the figures you are going to have to pay it.

I managed to get a Statement of Earnings when I required one from a previous employer and they didn't have the cheek to charge a fee. You shouldn't have to pay anything for it, but it can be a long and painful process!

Did you keep your wages payslips?

Unfortunately, if you gotb rid of your own records, you will probably have to bite the bullet and pay the amount they want.
