Agree that any money back from HMRC is cause for celebration - especially when benched for a while.

Also agree with a previous post that if you do your SA online then the money is paid back directly into an account of your choice within days.

£845 back that you didn't expect, that's a result in my book irrespective of how much I earn.

Ignore the pointless troll, it's obvious he's just an evious git

Calling back every 30 days and chase!

Last time it happened a couple of tax years back after doing SA online I got the payment in a couple of days direct into my bank account.

Immediatley after completing my SATR I contacted my accountant and asked to have my on account payments reduced as I had kept the divs down this year and paid lots into my pension. I made an on account payment in January that covered my whole year. A week later I got a cheque for 769 quid in the post.

Yeah but if youre on the bench, you view money as how much more time it buys you.

If youre not on the bench, then sure, celebrate away as you get that new 50 incher youve had your eye on!
