Update on possibly getting £1,500...

It seems that however adamant the Revenue are that the £1,500 tax refund belongs to me it actually it belongs to Dyson. : (

Apparently this is because I only get a refund because of getting foreign tax credit, which I get because Dyson paid foreign tax. My contract says that Dyson can offset the cost to them using any refund due because of foreign tax credits. So I have to give them the whole £1,500. I also have to pay the revenue £27 on top of that because apparently I didn't pay enough tax on the interest on my bank account last year.

I hope I get some good karma for being honest and not just keeping the money and hoping they didn't notice…

The good karma is that place in your heart that knows it did the decent honest thing, rather than grabbing the money and hoping for the best. Now you can be at peace, rather than having a tiny, constant knot of worry invade your life.

Agreed. Though the manner in which the karma is repaid to you will no doubt be in some form unrecognisable as being relative to this deed.

For example, the inland revenue worker is surprised by your honesty, thus being more honest, thus influencing the actions of those around them, spreading like a wave of honesty until rather than steal your bag, someone buys you an icecream.

When you recieve said icecream you shall see this incident in isolation rather than the vast cause and effect you have caused by being honest today.

This is of course an example, the reality will probably be far more abstract.

Om.
