It would be interesting to see a distribution of how much forumites are getting back. Can't we get a poll going with different ranges?
I don't think ranges would be that interesting though. The reasons why would be more interesting.
Typically I get a refund for contributions to a Retirement Annuity and a loss on a rental property.
Other reasons that come to mind are medical payments not from medical aid, travel related expenditure and unemployment for a portion of the tax year.
I wonder what percentage of people get refunds due to HR's inability to accurately calculate their PAYE resulting in an overpayment of tax.
