R43 - How Long Till You Got Your Dosh?

[Milliemoo]

Hi all,

Now I'd like to think I'm a patient kinda a gal, but it's starting to wear very thin with the UK Inland Revenue.

I completed 2 x R43 (myself & hubby) in June and I'm still waiting for my money. In the numerous phone calls I have established:
a) they received the forms
b) due to back logs the forms were only marked as being received on the system in August
c) although I was given October as a guide line, this turns out to be 'gawd knows when' due to staff shortages and huge workloads
d) Mr Tax Man has thousands of £ of my dosh and isn't in any rush to give it back.

* Growls and mutters under her breath *

So my question is this:
Have you completed and sent an R43 form for the tax year 08 and have you had your dosh?

Please only vote if it's an R43 (the one which you claim back tax paid on interest from bank accounts etc in the UK) that you completed.

Blimey & I thought that Sept. was a long time. I've voted & it would appear from your comments that I may as well let christmas come & go & lay back in the sun & think of ....

Oh don't get me started .... grrrrr .... steam coming out of ears. It was not until I put in a formal complaint in writing and had it couriered to the Plymouth tax office that they gave me my money. In between times I was given inaccurate advice, had my forms sent back because of the inaccurate advice, had my forms lost ..... oh God I'm going to have to stop because my blood pressure is rising.

Oh sorry, I voted, and it wasn't the R43. It was the self-assessment form.

I just saw the words 'UK Inland Revenue' and the red mist descended and I didn't read it properly. Sorry.

If this is what I think it is, the one you send your P45 as well, then MIL sent ours in Feb I think it was & they bought the money out to us in June, an unexpected surprise
Hope your kept waiting too much longer

Nope, it's not that one...can't remember which one that is.

So I think so far with the poll, the only 2 people that said that they've received their money, didn't actually complete an R43.

So everyone who completed and sent off an R43 still waiting for their dosh
