PAYE Tax Calaculations

JCC1286

I'm looking for some advice in relation to adjustments to my 2013/14 tax payments. I was working 2 jobs for about 5 months during this tax period which always seems to screw things up.

In June, I received a calculation from HMRC advising that I had paid too much tax for 2013/14 and that I was due a rebate (happy days!!) Within a month, I had received another letter advising that there had been an error in my last calculation and in actual fact I had underpaid tax for 2013/14.

Due to them sending me a cheque a month previously, my underpayment is now 4x what it would have been if it had been calculated correctly in the first place because they are claiming back the initial rebate.

I very much doubt I have a leg to stand on here but I'd like to know if there is any way to challenge this. I wouldn't have such an issue if they were from 2 different tax years but it simply looks like someone has stuffed up in the first instance and they are trying to recover the costs of their error. Something of which I can't even figure out how they got so wrong in the first place.

I find it quite difficult to understand the breakdowns that they send through and trying to get through to anyone in the HMRC call centres takes a stupidly long time and I'd like to be a bit more clued up on the matter before I contact them.

Any help you guys could offer would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks

You need to get your post moved...this forum is for people asking questions regarding Benefits and Tax credit.....not PAYE Tax etc.
Repost on the Income Tax forum a little further up from this forum on the main page. There are a few people on there who are very experienced and will be able to help you.

I have no idea which one is correct, they'll probably come back in another month with something completely different!

I was looking for one relating to income tax, but couldn't find it. I'll have another look.

Many thanks
