back dating tax claims

[huwbie]

I was given bad (verbal) advice by a tax officer in the tax office in 1999 regarding one parent allowance claim. I've since discovered that I am indeed eligible for this relief and was wondering hw far back I can claim retrospectively. Thanks

2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and the current year can be claimed

Thanks a lot. I'll merrily trot down to the tax office next week.

You don't have to go down in person. You can just write to them.
