OV53 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Just got the ridiculous news from the missus that I got a tax rebate. But the burning question is....how much was yours? Quote
WINKJ Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Had one for 900 once... Not since though! How were you informed? Quote
AliveBoy Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Got one for a client which got paid last week, put it this way. It was over 70k! Quote
Flex Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I can beat that! Just sending one off now for £150k for a client. Days like these I enjoy being an accountant. Shame it's not mine 1 Quote

Shame it's not mine I work in expatriate tax, dealing mostly with high net worth individuals. When I see someone only 2 or 3 years older than me with a tax bill multiple times my wage I do get a little bit sad Quote
Flex Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Me too but I guess it's down to us to work harder and smarter to bring in the extra fees. Are you working within a firm? Quote
SteveM Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 i once got a tax rebate for 5 pounds and a few pence.... followed by a letter a few weeks later saying i owed £3 and pennies... which i paid... by cheque... a month or so later i got another refund of just under £2.... ??? Quote

Yeah, currently working for a company called Global Tax Network, it's great because every client is different and it doesn't get boring. Are you with a firm? Quote

Certainly sounds like our friends at HMRC to me. Bunch of inbred illiterate knobshanks. Quote
Humpy Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Nice I had a two rebates a couple of years back now, one paid for my road trip across America and another one was for about £800 odd. Hope you get a nice amount Quote

OV53 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 The question was......how much was yours? Not how much was some gadgy you know. Anyways mine was £3k! Whoop! Quote
S1 HNK Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I think this thread is going to turn into a "my wage is bigger than yours" isn't it. Surely it's a bit crude to talk money on these forums. Just my opinion of course. Quote
OV53 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 I don't necessarily think it's got owt to do with the size of wage packet, but moreso how long you've spent on the wrong/emergency tax code. Quote

OV53 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Tax rebates are the balls! They are those unexpected brown envelopes of happiness that come around once in a while and then allow you to comlpletely bladder it on stuff you were holding out on because they were "too expensive"! Quote
AliveBoy Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 At my work we call it intaxication. Intaxication: the feeling of joy at being awarded money, until you realise that it was yours in the first place. Quote
S1 HNK Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I don't necessarily think it's got owt to do with the size of wage packet, but moreso how long you've spent on the wrong/emergency tax code. It obviously has to have some relevance to your earnings. If you earn £25k per year you aren't going to get a tax rebate of £70k are you??!! Quote

Yeah but if you come on here and say that your tax rebate is £75k then I would call bullshizit because if I was getting those types of tax rebates I certainly wouldn't be driving a 350z! Quote
JetSet Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Last time I got one was in 1980, just over £700, probably 4k in today's money. Pete 1 Quote
