Sorry to be OT but this is such a widely knowledgeable group, etc,
etc. !!

I've just been checking my Bank Statement on line and I've received a
sum of money (£400) through the BAC system and the source against it
is 'SA'. Neither the bank itself nor the call centre know what 'SA'
is although the bank did admit that they have been asked about it
before.

Anybody know what 'SA' is?

Possibly a transfer from a Savings account?

I think you'll find this is from the Inland Revenue (or whatever
they're called nowadays). SA stands for Self Assessment. It's probably
your tax refund, or the tax refund of someone who put the wrong
account number on their tax return!

Thanks guys - did just wonder if it was that but couldn't get anything
sensible for the acronym SA. Now it all makes sense. No doubt
something will come in the post at some point but it is nice to know
they pay out first. The sum is within a few pounds of what I
calculated sometime 6 months ago.

Cheers

Seems very odd that there is no other form of reference against the
payment to identify it .

Same happened to me a couple of years ago, the notice from the IR
arrived a few days later.

This is from HM Revenue and Customs and is a tax refund payment for
Self Assessment tax. The bank should know this full well - they
must be seeing enough of them at this time of year.

You should also have received a tax calculation from said government
department but that would be making several assumptions.

In previous years, I have always received refund in the form of a BACS
transfer which is convenient. This year, for whatever reason, and for
a smaller amount, they sent a cheque which is very inconvenient.
I tried to get them to cancel it and alter my tax code, but they
couldn't manage that.

Grrrr! I got an e-mail from the accountant saying I had a £450 refund.
Then letter a dated 1/2/07 from the revenue saying they were paying it in
to my bank. They had the wrong a/c number on the letter so I rang them.

Got another letter on the 21st with yet another wrong a/c number, so I rang
again. Cheque didn't arrive till this morning!

They certainly didn't pay me first.

If it is something from the revenue, Sod All seems about right ;-)

Why couldn't they have paid it into the proper account and done with
it rather than wasting everyone's time with cheques?

I had the opposite problem in January, they repaid a cheque for a four
figure sum I paid them. The next week I got a demand for payment.

I expect you sent them the wrong sort of pounds.
