Tax rebates and General Charges by companies

[CJ&theBOS]

Hi i wasnt sure where to put this.

 

I am in the process of checking to see if i am due a tax rebate (have 2 jobs but one is only for part of the year) but one of my employers is wanting me to pay £10 for each additional p60 for each year i am claiming. Are employers only obliged to send out 1 p60 per year and the employee has to pay for any other ones? Afaik all i need to do is take the p60s for the years i am claiming down to my local tax office and they will do let me know in a few weeks if i am due a rebate?

 

 

Also with regard to the bank charges being unlawful situation. Does this also apply to charges that agencies and debt collection companies impose for sending out letters etc? e.g. being charged £10 for a letter they had to send out.

 

thanks

It's probably right - they issue one each year and you are supposed to keep it - I can't see that it's unreasonable, although perhaps you could ask for a bulk discount.

Hi thanks for the reply. Claiming for 4 years...just have to weigh up whether it will be worth the £40 outlay for the p60s. Still i will have a good hunt round the house for them nonetheless.

 

Heres another question!

 

I have been charged about £140 by a debt agency (letters and admin charges etc) who handled my account on behalf of council (council tax etc) Now i got to thinking that this is a similar sort of thing that banks do. i.e. charge you for breaking t & cs (over and above a reasonable rate anyway?)

 

Can i ask them for a breakdown of these charges? With a view to claiming some back? Are debt collection agencies allowed to charge any rates for things like this? e.g. charges for sending letters out and such.
