I'm totally confused
« on: May 04, 2014, 09:30:05 AM »
I arrived back home on Wednesday after being away for six months. Slowly been working my way through the snail mail.

I received a coding notice from the HM Revenue & Customs stating that my Civil Service widows and dependants pension will be taxed at the basic rate.

I've never had a widows pension, I don't suppose many men do but in this day and age anything can happen.  :)

With all the modern technology how can they foul up like this. Maybe a phone call on Tuesday will sort it out.

I don't think  HM Revenue & Customs would send you an e-mail, they would send you an official letter.  I suspect this is a phishing e-mail.

Tell them you'll be happy to pay the tax if they pay you the pension.
