Need Advice re. Taxation/P45

[Wafer]

Hi

Hope someone might be able to advise or help.

I took maternity leave in Aug 07 and was due to return to work in July 08 following unpaid leave/hols etc. Unfortunately, in March 08 I became ill and was so sick by the time it came to returning to work that I decided to pack it all in and stay at home fulltime with my two children so I handed in my notice and my P45 was issued. I claimed illness benefit until I was fully better.

What I'm wondering now is the following:

- would I be entitled to any tax rebate from '07/08 or how would I go about finding this out (my p45 was blank as I wasn't paid anything from work during my maternity leave)

- could I transfer my tax credits to my husband?

- can we claim home carers tax credits?

- what and when can one claim re. medical expenses/consultants fees?

Many thanks for any info.

for 2007 tax year- due to be filed by 31/10/08 you and husband can go joint assessment, his p60 and your p60 plus any medical expenses, paye credits etc- you may get a refund.

for 3008 tax year- due to be filed by 31/10/09- husband p60 and wife p45 which is nil and wife p60 you get for rest of year.

a balancing statement/notice of asessment should balance and clean up both years

... for 3008 tax year- ...

Now there's a note of optimism amongst all the doom and gloom.
