I have received a 100GBP fine for non-return of my 2002-3 tax return. I never received it in the first place and IR say it must have gone to my old address and that is up to me to tell them I've moved (the fine came to my new address though?!). Having never dealt with IR before (I'm strictly PAYE no bonuses/perks), I assumed I only needed to tell my employer to update their records - apparently not! IR say there is a good chance of winning an appeal but as an aside to this, it seems I may be due a rebate on my personal pension conts as I am a few grand over the 40pc threshold. I have to fill in my 2002-3 form but should I also ask to fill in one for the last four years that I have been paying in and only receiving basic rate relief on my PP? I pay 206GBP net a month into my PP and have earnt around 5-6000 over the 40pc threshold since taking it out. Is it worth the hassle of trying to fill in a four year old tax return? How long does it take them to cough up should I be due some cash (not getting hopes up!) Thanks for your help
