Tax Nightmare

chrisbagsy

Hi

When I left the Royal Navy just under 3 years ago. i began receiving my pension. Unfortunately Paymaster General did not communicate properly with HMRC resulting in me paying too little tax on my pension. (£26 / month totally £364 before they realised)
Since then my tax code has been on a rollercoaster ride. It is currently 178L but soon to be 248L. I have monthly discussions with HMRC to try and resolve this as I am being told that because of this dispute, I cannot receive my business mileage tax element reclaim (now totalling £1489.00). Moreover Paymaster General has not replied to any of the HMRC
correspondence.:mad: I have been told that as it was their error and not mine. They should take responsibility after 6 months. My pension is going to be taxed at 40% and I will still not receive 2009 / 2010 business mileage tax relief.

Has anyone got any sensible advise regarding this dilemma please?

Thanks

If the problem lies with the Paymaster General, I think you should be writing a strongly worded letter to them, telling them that their errors are holding up your repayment.
