paye online audit - advice needed

hi

i have a question regarding the paye online tax credits service.

i received a letter today asking me to provide receipts for 3 common tax credits for the years 2006-2009 inclusive which i claimed online.

i had a total of 8 claims in for those years, but i can only locate receipts for 6 of them. the two i can't find are for service charges and health expenses.

i was living in rented accomodation at the time and have no idea where they are, total about 370 euros gross claim, got back about 100 euros net.

does anyone have any experience of something like this? i don't mind paying it back because i can't prove that the claims were valid without the receipts i guess.

any advice on how this thing usually works? just submit the receipts and expect a charge?

thanks

Is there any other way you can get proof of payment?

If you remember who you paid service charges to, contact them to see if they will issue a letter or statement confirming that you paid that amount.

For your health expenses, if you have health insurance, your insurance provider might have evidence of your expenses and again issue a letter to that effect. If you don't, then ask your GP to issue a statement showing how much you paid them and do the same with your pharmacy.

Expect to repay the tax on any item that you can't prove you paid.
