hi
just filled in a tax return at the tax office about 5 mts ago .
done this at the tax office due to not having a clue how to fill one of these things in.....the person who worked there told me what to put down ( i told the person there, how many miles i was doing a week, and how much i was paying for digs)
also claimed for some other things to cloths and tools etc but this did not come to much.....
so i told him how much i was paying a week etc and he told me which boxs etc i should fill in....
did go a little over the top by mistake mostly because i told the person how many miles traveling i was doing per week in miles, and i think it may of been worked out wrong.
got a rebate from them( around £1000 ),, i was self employed - sub contratoring working away from home......i was getting paid by peace work .
after sepember of last year the work was that bad ( getting paid low wages) i left and i have gone back to being employed which is a lot bettter...
2 mts later the firm went out of bussiness so had a few problems getting my vouchers , but did get them after a few phone calls which the inland revenue have .
yesterday got a letter from the inland revenue saying my claim is being Investigated.. they want documents etc from my claim ( things i claimed for travel and digs etc)
thing is when i got my cheque i through that was the end of it.
being employed now i binned all of my documents. apart from the odd petrol reciepts.
what should i do next just ring the office right away and explain to them what has happened i dont want to be done for fraud because i have done nowt wrong, or should i get advice from somewhere else first.. ( if so who)
if i just tell them i binned them by mistake do u know what will happen next?
i have been doing some reserch on the net and i have heard if u throw the documents away etc u will be fined from the inland revenue...
i feel i could of made a big mistake here and an getting worried .
i am never going to become self employed again it is stressfull.i should of claimed 0.00..
all advice is really welcome
