Income tax underpaid/overpaid

in Cutting tax
My son has just received a letter stating that he has underpaid tax up to april 2013. After some investigation we remembered he was given a cheque for a similar amount a couple of years ago as he had "overpaid" tax. If they are now saying that this was a mistake can we argue that as it was their mistake he does not have to repay "underpaid" tax. Thanks for any help

Errrrr..... good luck with that one.
The answer is no, your son cannot refuse to pay tax because of an error by HMRC.0 -

Surely if he had received a cheque 'a couple of years ago' this would have no relation to the tax due for 2012/13?There are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who do not. :doh:0 -
