Can I urge everyone to apply for the tax refunds they are probably due? I always claimed my medical tax refunds, but never got round to claiming for bin charges, trade union fees etc. I knew I'd be too damn lazy to do it myself so I got a firm to do it for me, they get 12.5% of my rebate. Anyway today they called me to say I'm getting a cheque for almost 2k! I'm totally delighted, it took no time to fill in their form. Anyway, if you haven't done this you really should, I was only expecting a few hundred quid, so I'm delighted!
