Sorry, didn't word it very well.  We are aware of what you said.  We have a figure of the amount we are owed from our accountant which she claimed in January 2010.  On querying how much longer we were to wait for this money, we were told that the Tax Man is no longer giving refunds for CGT from January this year as the government can no longer afford it.  Unfortunately she didn't know whether as our claim was before January 2011 we would get our refund or not.

Sold our property in Spain in Dec 2009 for which we had to give the purchaser 3% of the purchase price for Capital Gains Tax.  Over a year later we have still not received our refund and have recently been told by our solicitor / accountant that the tax law regarding CGT in Spain changed in January this year and they are no longer refunding any CGT.  We find this very hard to believe and are finding it difficult to get answers back here in the UK.  Has anyone heard anything about this or can offer any advice as to how we can back our CGT after 16 months?
