I need to see someone about the tax situation.
Not sure about your last week before end of tax year stunt?
I have earnt more than my £5k relief amount gross, but iirc monthly salary was deducted on the basis of taxable_income/12, so if I am unemployed still in April 2007, I would have overpaid my income tax (4 months income tax < relief amount)
Ahhhh I recall as a sprog student signing a P38(something) form declaring that "thou shall not work for the rest of the tax year" and so the rebate is issued. I shall go look on hmrc.gov.uk.
Can't hurt to get your money off HMRC! Now if only I got my SAYE back off of my ex-employer I shall be a happier man.
Valid food for thought for anyone coming out of a job and commencing flight training; you need every penny.
Now if the tax man paid for your training, heh I'll stop there
