The tax office sent me a letter telling me I has a rebate, after 6 weeks ( mid febuary) I phoned to ask where it was. The lady said it must have been lost in the post and a replacement would be sent. mid march I phoned to check the progress of my replacement, only to be told the original had been cashed on january 30. How the first person I spoke to didnt know this is beyond me. What chances do I have of getting my money????

I made a mistake by paying tax due for my self – assessment into my corporation tax code. HMRC say that they refunded it by giro and sent it to my accountant’s address. It never arrived. The giro was for £26,000 – a substantial sum to send through the post. So far HMRC have been unable to tell me if the giro has been cashed and they are charging me daily interest on unpaid self-assessment tax. They seem to have washed their hands of this. What can I do?
