HMRC Payment on account

lulualf

Help please..we have just logged into our tax account to find several emails which tell us we seem to owe £3k plus mainly down to on account payments and then £83 late fees fines. We don't understand why we have this on account payment. We left UK Aug 2013 did a SA tax return - still own a house and have a uk pension but no other income. We pay tax where we now live and declare and pay tax on the pension there. Can we get these on account payments taken off or reduced? plus the fines?? any help or guidance as currently so upset at a debt we didn't know we had and don't understand how we have it?

Did you tell HMRC you have left the country? Are they simply assuming some income that is not taxed at source based on previous years?

Hi Yes we filled forms in for both leaving the UK and a DT form for the pension

You doubtless registered for the non-residents landlord scheme but as you own a UK rental property you are required to file annual self-assessment tax returns. Who told you that you did not have to file annually?

Good point but the OP does not say they have let the property.

They've mentioned letting their property in this thread:
