I'm an IT consultant working under 'Managed Service'. I had a bad habit to postpone caliming my expenses via the payroll run by the umbrela company, and I have received no warning from the managed serivce/accounting company.

Now that it is the time or tax return, the managed service company is refusing to open back the closed payroll periods and thus refuses to process my expenses, and said that I can claim them back via my tax return.

When I calculated my tax return I noticed that the maximum I can claim back is the equivalent of my basic salary. For this case; my salary is almost 7,000 GBP while my expenses are about 15,000 GBP.

Is there a way to claim back these expenses via the tax return, or there is no other way to do it except via openning the closed payroll periods?
What can I do if the managed service refuses to re-process these expenses? I'm no more using their services and opened my own limited company.

I do not wish to postpone sending my tax return. Can I send my tax return as is for the time being and then recalculate it later?

My husband has queried his tax code on many occassions with his employer and the Inland Revenue. To the point where he has told them everything in his power and IR have said his code is correct and the employer duly notified of the code.
They are now saying it was an incorrect code due to an administrative error when transferring his details from one tax office to another. They have records on file that he rang them. NOW they want back payment (as they do). My husband did everything that he could other than send money to them. After all, we expect them to be right when they say they are right.

Anyway- what complaints procedure can he go down and have you any suggestions how to put forward a reasonable argument that they will not dismiss, they must have certain criteria which may allow him to escape without paying- as they have done with the catastrophe over child benefits (or whatever it is called)

Please help/suggest. Many thanks, we can't afford a back payment of a reduction in his income to claw back the underpayment.

Hi all,

I hope someone out there can help me. I have a full-time, normal office job where I pay PAYE tax and NI contributions on a salary of £26,500 .

But in order to earn extra income to pay off my debts (it's the only way it's going to happen) I have recently started freelance translation. So far I have only had one job, but it was worth £280...

I'm hoping to get other similarly valued jobs as the client who I have done this job for is impressed but I don't know where I stand re tax.

Can someone tell me what I should/need to do as regards the IR and how much tax or NI contributions I may be asked to pay?

Thanks!

I am working as a self employed photographer. Can I claim the costs of babysitting for my child when I am out working at an event? I could not do my job without someone looking after the baby.

Thanks!
