Bad news. 4,180 if it was diesel. FWIW I think the rules on this are bonkers unless your objective is to double the size of the UK tax code within 12 years, in which case that is one of Labour's successful achievements in office!

I had a similar letter from HMRC a couple of weeks ago. It stated I owed about £350 from 2007/2008 for underpaid car benefit tax. However I usully ring the tax office and give the new car details as soon as I get it to keep my code upto date. I rang the tax office and the chap noticed that the figure they were using for the car was much higher than the one i had given them and said he would check it out. Got a letter yesterday stating I was owed £170.

just a quick update - we managed to get hold of the P11D forms from his old employer and they had put the wrong car down , they had sent a revised one in the following year but the tax people were still working from the wrong details but they have now altered my husbands records and we only owe £75 - would have been nice if they'd owed us money but at least its a lot less than they'd said originally said

antonic

Chrismac1 !

We have now gone from a position where HMRC make all the mistakes to where its the employers fault.

Any comments you would like to make like an apology for all the duff info you have spouted re Tribunal Cases ?

Thought not, after all you must be the only accountant in existence who NEVER makes a mistake !

I stand corrected if the revised P11d was for a different tax year. However if the revised P11d was for this tax year and HMRC have lost it or whatever, the finger points back to them. The latest bit of fun I've had is with a client who was due a PAYE inspection last week. It turns out that false self-employment was the prime reason for the visit. On the phone the week before we pointed out 100% of the 23 staff were on the books and the client paid £17k in PAYE and NI in 10-11 and is on track for well over £20k in 11-12. You can't make this stuff up!

The good news is commonsense prevailed and they called off the visit which would have been a 200 mile round trip for HMRC,
