Hi, I'm on a 2 year career break from work. I'm receiving 10k for each year.
I've been away since Jan, and haven't done paid work since then. I'm currently working as a volunteer for an NGO.
I was taxed almost half of the lump sum, and received refunds throughout the year... I'm still owed just over 1k... the 10k is well bellow the taxable income.
My living costs are pretty low, but my money is really tight now... Is it possible to receive the full 10k next year, or even get the tax refunds quicker?
When I was on to them last year, they were very helpful, except one woman, who kept asking me about my house... and that I should be living there since I'm receiving mortgage relief... I'm joint owner, and my housemate is living there... so, the house is still owner occupied, right?
So, basicly, can I receive my tax back quicker is all I need to know... or do I just have to keep on contacting them throughout the year, asking for my money?
Cheers.
