My fatha is 75 and has a state pension and his pit pension and no other income.

As you would expect, he hasn't earned enough to break the tax threshold.......or so he thought, for donkeys years. He has just had a tax demand for £800 going back to 07/08 as they are saying, accurately as it turns out, that he has been over the threshold since then and should paid £40 a month income tax.

He is at his wits end over this and it seems to me that the Inland Revenue have screwed this up and are punishing him for it.

Any other former miners families come across this?
