Sorry for the extremely stupid question. I`m assuming we`re in the 2005 tax year (April 2005 - April 2006), but my wife disagrees so I`d rather make sure. I`m at work and she`s at home filling out our P60 stuff. I`d like to get some of my tax back from this April - June, especially as I just had my final pay and got stung for £1300 tax (!!). Normal pay, Overtime, holiday pay, and an unexpected 6% bonus.

Couldn`t find any reference to what tax year we are in on the net.

Damn I feel dumb right now

I filled out my P85 today and put tax year ending March 2006.

Just doing my first Self Assessment in the UK for tax year April 2004 to April 2005, so in the UK you are now in tax year April 2005 to April 2006.

If you are talking about your tax paid then to be refunded for April to June 2005, I understand you need to complete a P.85. The tax office website is now

The Oz tax year is July to June, this confuses me no end

Good luck

Sorry, subject change but has anyone ever had to to one of these and have you done it on-line?

I have cracked most of it BUT the mileage bit. I have had 3 different answers from the Inland Rev.

Yep, had to do them for the last three years - not looked at this one yet...sadly not had to deal with mileage...is it the split between persoanl & business??

Once you get used to it, it's not too bad....honest... a few help!!

Stormz

EEEK!

Merlot you`re saying we`re in the 2005 tax year. Sonictigger you`re saying we`re in the 2006 tax year.

Gonna pickle my brain now......

Merlot

We are, start April 2005, end April 2006.

This is what you put on the P.85 - April 2006.

Calm down!!!!! Merlot's doing the tax return for 2004/05 (2005 tax year), but you are reclaiming from 2005/06 (2006 tax year)....clear as mud....

2004/2005 tax year ends 4th April 2005 this covers all earnings between those times

2005/2006 tax year begins 5th April 2005 therefore you are in this tax year

Merlot

You know too much, no way would they allow you to be a tax inspector

sonictigger

UUUGggggg :scared: what a horrible thought... just a sad tax payer with a few dealings at work!!!

Merlot

Me and you both.
