It is my first tax year where I have my own car instead of a company car. Am I allowed to claim for servicing and cost of new tyres etc as I am doing quite high company mileage which impacts on the wear and tear of the car?

TaxFix - Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Sam: If you use your own car for business, you can claim 40 pence per mile for the first 10,000 miles and 25 pence per mile for any over this amount. You might find this article interesting about mileage allowance.

I was working in Japan for 20 years. I came back to UK to look after my elderly father. I received a payment for work done in 2008 in May 2009. I paid Japanese Tax on this lump sum. I am now being told I may need to pay UK tax on this as well. I have been in the UK approx 18 mos. i intend to leave as soon as is feasable. So far most tax advisors I have tried tell me it is too complicated. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks

Iv been sent tax return forms to fill in for the past 5 years.
Iv been on bennefits for ill health for the past 20 years.
non of my bennefits are taxable.
Someone i was very close too just got investigated by the inland revenue.
could this be why im being sent these forms and should i just fill them in?

TaxFix - Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

john: Are you sure your benefit is not taxable? If the Inland Revenue sends you a tax return form to complete then you need to complete it. There could be a number of reasons why they have asked you to complete it.

I am trying to fill in an online assessment but I live in Australia. I can never get past the personal details page because it says ‘UK post code not recognised’. I don’t have a UK post code as I live in Australia. How do I get round this? I have tried entering ‘none’ or ’0′ but it refuses to pass it. My australian address is in view and the postcode box is blank.

My wife received a self assessment tax form and foolishly returned it even though she has never been self employed,a sole trader or a company director.She has always worked for an employer.She has now received a tax demand for the years 2009 for almost £500.Not only was she retired during that year,she was also under sequestration(bankruptcy)Surely she should never have received a self assessment form?

Is working tax credit and child tax credit to be declared in self assessment tax return?

AJ - Friday, December 9th, 2011

I am due a rebate of over £2000. I have been requesting the same to be paid directly into my bank for 2 months now but to no avail. I have spoken to an advisor who stated there were no flags on my account and therefore I should wait, even though I had been advised the payment request to bank should be instant. Now on checking my HMRC account it states my repayment with the date 31 Jan 2012? Could anyone shed any light on the matter – will I be expected to wait until then for my refund and why?!

StephenW - Friday, December 30th, 2011

I came across this problem (as I am now overseas)
“UK post code not recognised” when filling in the on-line self assessment form, as I had left the UK post code field empty. Try deleting any white space in the post code field, then click “save”. Worked for me.
