Morning all[:)]
I may be in a position to be receiving a tax refund for some fuel allowance i have been owed for the previous 3 years.
As this was all before i entered into my IVA would i have to pay it over - i am aware of the £500 windfall rule - but surely this wouldnt fall into that category?
any advice appreciated.

Hi Newbeginnings,

Not sure about this one - you will have to run it past your IP though so they're best place to advise.

When I got mine I had to hand it over even though it was from before the date the IVA began

It will be a windfall if it amounts to over £500.

Hi newbeginnings ... If you are paye for employment & the claim is less than £2000 they have the right to adjust this & or next years tax code. This would result in you paying less tax & therefore receiving you 'windfall' through pay & it would be subject to the 10% 50/50, as long as it's a protocol IVA. If it's a cheque over £500 it's off to your IVA sorry unless HMRC are s creditor.
