£6500.00 tax demand

Steviek_2

I received a lettter last Wed enclosing a P800 calculation saying that i owe £6500.00 from 2009/2010. They say that I had a company car, fuel benefit and health insurance for that year but my employers didnt reduce my personal allowance code so I owe them the amount of the code for that year. I have written to them to point out that I didnt have those benefits for the whole of the tax year. I left the employer on 15.3.10. despite that the employer submitted a PD11 for 2010/2011 saying I had the benefits going forward for part of 2010/2011. As a consequence I have had a reduced cose for the last 2 years. My point is 1. HMRCS knew in 2010 that I had the benefits yet have only just sent me a demand for these 2. Ihave been penalised for 2 years now for benefits I didnt have. I have written to the HMRCS pointing this out but I now think I should apply under ESC A19 as it is more than 12 motnhs since this came to light. Can anyone offer any help?

a bit confusing

1. in tax year 2009-10 you had BIK for that year but your tax code wasn't amended for that year so you paid too little tax?


2. in tax year 2010-11 your tax code was reduced for BIK you didn't have so you paid too much tax?

3. in tax year 2011-12 your tax code waas still too low so you paid too much tax?

or is that completely wrong?

Hi Clapton thanks 4 replying in tax year 2009/2010 I worked 4 2 companies 4 6 months. 1 I worked 4 3 days a week the other 2 days. The 3 days per week co gave me a car fuel and health benefits 4 those 6 months. I was under the impression that I had no tax code with the 2nd co so I was paying straight tax on all of the money to take that into account. I left the 3 day week co on 15.3.2010 so all the benefits went. However, they submitted a pd11 to say that I still had those benefits going into 2010/2011 which was not true. I continued working 4 the 2 day a week co until sept 2010 wen the co was declared bankrupt by the hmrcs 4 non payment of the paye and in. The co was closed overnight with all my personal stuff still in my desk so I have no payslips 2 check the tax code. However, since April 2010 I have had a much reduced code (500) as they said I had underpaid tax I applied 4 a review on the grounds the pd11 was wrong but it was rejected now they r saying I owe another £6500 for all of the personal code 4 2009/2010 as I has the benefits but a full code. Sorry 2 b so long winded is this a bit clearer?

In a nutshell u were exactly right in your assumptions

CLAPTON

tax is all about detail

you would need to post up the figures to make any sense of what you are saying

and it would be a bit easier to read if you left out the txt speak and added newlines etc

Might be if you dropped the 4s and 2s and used words.
