This can't be right?!?! Can it??

I've recently submitted my 05/06 tax return - thought I had done it ages ago but obv not - only earn £80 on top of my 'normal' job from mystery shopping. Invoice has come this morning and I owe them £1165.33 apparently!!!! !!!!!! - From earing £80 I now have to pay them almost 15times that??

Have they made a mistake?? Just wondered if someone could have a look before I call them??!?!?

Does this bill also include your liabilities from 07-08 and payments on account due for 09-10? Without seeing a computation of your liability it's hard t advise.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Nope it doesn't.

It says:

brought forward from previous statement - £195.84 (I'm assuming this is the charge for not filling in on time)
Balancing payment due for 05/06 £838.64
interest £130.85

Total: £1165.33


I gave up the mystery shopping and stuff a year later as it just seemed tooo much trouble filling in the forms and stuff. The year 06/07, I earnt £20 and the tax man owed me £0.27p.

Do you have a copy of the submitted Return or can you reply with all the figures on the Return?

Someone at HMRC may have keyed a figure in wrong, did they send a calculation or just a statement?

They just sent me a statement and no I don't have a copy of the tax return, sorry.
Basically, I was working full time £13500 and mystery shopping at weekends £80.
Can I ask for a calculation?? Is there a template letter or should I just call them and ask?

Thanks

you can phone your tax office and ask them to go through the calculation with you.

You have used all your allowances up at your PAYE employment so £80 x 52 weeks per year = £4160 which would have been taxable at basic rate. Basic rate in 2005/2006 was 22% so £4160 @22% = £915 tax due. If you claimed some expenses against your self employment or didn't work every weekend then that would have reduced that figure.

It was only £80 over the full year!!

I just rang them and apparently I haven't noted down how much I had already paid in tax through my employment, so I've got to dig out my P60 or last wage slip or something and write to them.

Easy as really - should have done that first!! hehe!

Pam, I think the £80 is for the whole year.

Do you have your P60 or whatever you used to get the employment figures, I think the tax deducted should have been about £1,640?

Any

Yes, while I was reading through the thread I thought that is what happened. Hopefully it will be sorted out very soon. They are usually quite good at this. (just takes them forever if you want refund!!:-))
