Stick with it. I did get my over payment eventually after I said I'd deduct it from the next instalment. However, go speak with the tax lady in the Gov offices & she'll advise what's best to do.

Yes Mike, sorry moved back to UK a few years ago.

Clearly your EXIT tax! Thank you for your contribution on behalf of all us other suckers who pay to the last cent & then scream & shout when we're owed a refund.

Those who owe the tax are probably waiting for the tax dept to give them a discount if they pay their overdue taxes in the same way the vehicle tax dept. did a few years ago to those who hadn't paid their car tax by the due date.
