tax refund
8 Answers
Does anyone know how long it takes to get a tax refund. I sent in my tax return online in June and it turns out they owe me several hundred pounts. It is supposed to be paid directly into my bank account but nothing has turned up yet. I have lost the will to live trying to talk to my tax office and wondered if this is a normal amount of time. I have never sent a tax return online before and in past years have received the refund quicker than this.

Finally, last week I got 3 separate letters in the space of 2 days- one said they had calculated I was due a refund and would receive the calculation shortly, the second set out the calculation and said I'd receive the money shortly and the third contained their cheque.
So if they have already promised a refund I would have expected it well within 6 weeks

It is always useful when filing a tax return online to actually file it!!! After going back into the website to check things, the first thing i saw was a message saying now file your return. i could have sworn i had done it but evidently not. the refund was paid within days of filing it, although i have not yet had the letter telling me i am due to a refund!!
