But the Tax Rebate you get, when you first apply for the Tax Allowance, is well worth having.

From memory,i think it's already done,it's automatically in your tax code/wages.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

For me, it was the Tax Rebate. The difference in my take home pay is negligable. But the rebate was very welcome.
