End of Jan...? Why is there such a deadline, tax rebates are due when their due surely, not to some deadline??

Not yet but I noticed on friday that ive been on basic rate tax since July last year, turns out that my last employers never informed the tax office that i'd left so they thought I was working two jobs.

And yes I know im a muppet, I will be checking my payslips a little more carefully in future!

Gordon Brown steals more than half your income then gives back a pittance and you're happy?

why not, don't matter who's "in charge" I always seem to be paying the tax man for many years. to get a bit back that I would have not known about apart from this fourm pointing it out is better than nothing at all I would have thought?

Just as long as you're not grateful for the return of your own money!

Apparently parenthood is now a victim group requiring financial support. Whatever next?

The Revenue will only refund tax if it is claimed within 6 years of the year to which it relates. This particular time limit was in respect of 2001/02. The deadline date for making a claim in respect of that year was 31 January 2009.

They have probably paid you by mistake. In 11 months time a not so super computer will discover the mistake and issue a letter asking for the full amount back, plus interest at credit card rates!

Enjoy it and then move house! to the tax man
