Swampy 147 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Wouldn't normally advise folk to contact the tax man but it might be worth letting them know?! rgds Swampy Avoidingning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 yep and I doubt they will contact you by email, same as banks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeakOil 352 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I normally get rebates sent as a cheque in the post from the Preston Tax office. I wouldn't give them my account details in case it was a scam! Or if it was genuine the buggers at the Inland Revenue might decide you owe them money and steal it directly from your account!
