In all my 26 years or so in tax, I have never entered a figure in here. I imagine it will increase the prospect of an enquiry, simply by virtue of the fact that there is any entry in this section. An honest mistake and an explanation should put an end to it!

By the way, there is no problem whatsoever in amending your return. Simply log in and choose this option!

Thank you soooo much!! I found it. Am feeling like a very thick person right now. I missed the employment expenses box completely but have now amended my return and saved about £100 on my tax bill.
I am loving you very much nomunnofun right now. May the karma Gods smile on you! xx
