Conflicting tax letters

in Cutting tax
My hubby has just had a letter from the tax people telling him he owes them £20-odd quid for an overpayment of income tax (yesterday).
Today he's received another letter from them telling him that they owe him £50-odd quid.
Is there any sense at all in that?
I always find letters from the tax people to read like complete gobbledegook but that's the upshot of the two letters.

It is a good idea to learn the rules and re-calculate your tax for yourself soon after April 6th each year. Then you can decide for yourself if HMRC have over/under charged you.
It may be a pain, but you can't assume that your employer and HMRC have got it right.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?

No, same year. The £50odd one is in the form of a cheque, and looking at the letters again, it seems they've already deducted the £20odd before awarding the £50odd.

It is very unlikely that they are for the same year.
It is probably 2 yrars, with the result from the first included in the second to arrive at the total.
Can you tell us what forms you got (probably p800) an# what tax years are shown on the forms.0
