Many thanks to all that have responded to this - and especially to the kind gent who sent me a 'P.M.'
Without wishing to apportion blame, it would appear that the RAF were correct in my 'PAYE' contributions, however the Pensions agency were not.....
Apparently I should have been taxed at 40% on my Pension and not the 20% that I actually paid......Fortunately the time period concerned was less than 5weeks, or the bill would have been significantly higher.....
Word of warning to those about to retire (or those who recently have) -
research the numerous 'on-line' tax calculators and make sure you won't get a nasty shock....
Seems I have no alternative but to pay it........Even though it was their fault.
Such is life I guess........
