I worked in a restaurant part-time for 2 months in 2015, June and July. I was unemployed for a year and found a job in September 2016. However my last employer forgot to tell their accountant or someone that i am no longer working there and they were sending HMRC that i earn 435 pounds per month with them! I dont care for 2015 but for 2016 when i found a different job now i have to pay additional 500 pounds of tax for work in that restaurant, where i did not work that year!

Now the problem is it was my first job, i did not know that i should receive p45 so i never asked for it. Second problem is restaurant went bankrupt in 2016 November, so it is gone!

The only proof i got is i found a job in September and apparently i worked in restaurant until November so it is 2 months of being in two places at the same time.

How can i prove that i did not work there in 2016 at all? I never received p45, i was unemployed for that time and restaurant is gone. Will they just believe me if i call HMRC and tell them that?
