Wrong, VAT is payable on anything over £18. Customs (import) duty doesn't apply if the item is under £105 or the amount of Customs is less than £7.

yeah, i'll do this. first question they'll ask is 'when did you leave' though surely. guess i'll be paying this all back soon then, damn.
if i did nothing then these morons would just keep paying me it'd be pointless for me not to tell them. i had a hunch that legally i'd owe it them back, cheers robii.

if the value is under 100odd quid then you're gonna have to pay 15% vat on the price of the item including the postage, plus a parcelforce handling fee which could be anywhere between £8 to £13.50, i think.

right, got a bit of a situation here.
i left my job at the end of march back and have been travelling since.
they paid me again at the end of april. as i was away i just assumed this was pro rata holiday pay that i had racked up. on my return i checked my payslip and this clearly wasnt the case.
yesterday i recieved my p60 in the post so thought this was the end of it. (i have since realised that this was for the end of the financial year)
to my horror i have today recieved a further payslip for the month of may.
what should i do and where do i stand legally?
i havent spent the money yet (thank god). obviously the right thing to do is to phone them, but will they demand it all back straight away? if they did this id be moreorless pennyless.

surely unless you earned $$$$$ it wouldnt be worth their while chasing you for it. so id ring the payroll people say to take you of the payroll, dont say when you left.

say nothing, put it in ISA, if they do ask for it back, at least you get to keep the interest, if like ineff it takes them 9 months to realise, you'll get a nice little free earner, but i'd definately not spend it (athough you'd think there would be a law where they cant claim it back after X amount of time?)
