i have had a letter from inland rev stating i owe £1900 from 2010-2011 how can this just happen, i am an ordinary joe public working for an employer the same one for 40 years or so and have never dealt with my own tax. i did take early retirement in may 2010 and carried on working 16hrs per week for my employer , but isnt it the responesibilty of pension providers and employers to tell inland rev, and deal with tax as i never have and wouldn't have a clue . any advice?

Can you post some figures? Did you, by any chance, start to receive any other income from May 2010?

just took my pension of £8000 approx per year and started to earn £140 per week payed tax on both £140 per month on pension and £13 per week on wage

I actually meant the figures on the letter from HMRC.

larkrise

what figs do you need

Mikeyorks

Your responsibility to tell HMRC if you continued working and started to draw a pension. Unless the pension was added via payroll - in which case the tax would have remained correct.

To check - we need all the figures from the P800. Also your P60 figures for the same year (Pay / Tax / code). And the P60 (same detail) from the pension provider if that is seperate.

larkrise

p60 states pay and income details as 8548.21 with tax deducted as 401.60 code is 653L earnings at lel 5044 above lel 675 above ET 2825 above UAp none employee contribution on earnings above the ET 313.35
p800 states income 18077 less total deductions 60 income 18017 pers allowance 6475 tax chargeable on 11542 at 20% 2308.40 . tax underpaid 1906.80 !!
hope thats what you need to help

OK - there is a differnece in the income of £9548 all of which has not been taxed - what is this? Is it STATE pension and, if so, may I ask what age you are?

Pension is being taxed according to OP second post, so not state pension.

jennifernil

OP....you should have 2 P60s possibly? You don't seem to have anything for your pension.

Nor do HMRC seem to know about the tax deducted from it.
