Tax refund: is it correct to claw it back?

I am struggling to get my head around this one.

So, for 2007/08, my tax return resulted "Tax refunded or set off "Box 1 If you have had any 2007?08 Income Tax refunded or set-off "This could be a repayment of CIS deductions (if you work in the construction industry), PAYE tax or tax paid on savings income. Or it could be an amount we have reallocated to go against an existing debt."

Er... why? What has finality of 2007/08 got to do with the computation of tax for the following year?

What are your thoughts?

Where does it say that?

On my 2008-2009 tax return TR5 it says: "1 If you have had any 2008-09 Income Tax refunded or set-off by us or Jobcentre Plus, enter the amount"

On the guidance notes that appear from the online return's help facility.

If you have the paper version, I am now wondering whether HMRC have linked to the wrong guidance notes.

Hmmm......
