Tax Return/Repayment question
I originally posted this in the wrong forum I think so re posting here: I recently got made redundant from my employment.

Tax Underpayment. Can this be right?
Hi everyone, I received a letter from our good friends HMRC yesterday telling me that for last tax year I'd made a tax underpayment of just under £200.

BR tax and Job Seekers allowance.

Company Car
I have a car allowance that comes with a new position. I want to exceed the allowance. Our FD says that I do this with deduction from net pay, and the contributions reduce the P11D. Is it not allowed to do this from gross pay, like salary sacrifice, and avoid the 51% tax (income + NI + student loan). I realise this won't…

Best way to handle overpaid refund cheque?
I've been sent a 2012/13 HMRC income tax refund check with a value less than £40. Income that I'd previously discussed with HMRC but which was not used in the calculation of refund means that the check is a payment I'm not actually entitled to. No refund would be almost exactly correct. Naturally I'll be telling HMRC about…
