Good Morning Everyone,

This is my First post in the Forum as I need to ask for your advice. I got a letter on Christmas Eve (how nice from them) from HMRC stating I owe them £1214.20 for the Tax year of 2015/2016 but on the calculation I found something I really don't get hence this post. Have a look on the data from the letter below.

(I worked in 2 different places)
Income / Income Tax
1st Employer - £12977.14 / £885.40
2nd Employer - £6782.38 / £650.00
Medical Insurance - £28.00
Benefits in Kind - £47.00 / £0.00
Total - £19834.52 / £1535.40

LESS YOUR DEDUCTIONS - Amount / Income
Other Expenses(I had mileage allowance) - £726.00
Flat Rate Job Expenses - £60.00
Total Deductions - £786.00
Your Income Less Total Deductions - £19048.52


LESS YOUR ALLOWANCES - Amount / Income
Personal Allowance - £10600.00
Total Tax Free Amount - £10600.00
Your Total Taxable Income - £8448.52

INCOME TAX RATE(S) - Income / Income Tax
Basic Rate at 20% on - £8448.00 / £1689.60
Total - £8448.00 / £1689.60

RESULT - Income Tax
Total Tax Payable £1689.60
Tax you've Already Paid £1535.40
Tax Already Repaid to You for the Year £1060.00
You Owe HMRC £1214.20


But my question comes from the fact I didn't received any tax back from HMRC. The only amount I got was £650.00 from my mileage allowance.

Can you help please?

Thank you so much!

    With reference to the line in bold: Have you received the Marriage Allowance of £1060 (10% of £10600) from your spouse ?


    If so the refund would have been 20% of this allowance , so £212, making this an error.

    Tax Already Repaid to You for the Year £1060.00

    Do you claim that HMRC never repaid this sum?

    Good Evening,

    That's absolutely correct. I never received £1060.00 from HMRC. The only amount I received was £650.00 that was from my mileage allowance.

    Thank you

    Then have a look at your online tax account. If you can't see a £1060 transaction, ask HMRC to explain.

    You did actually see total tax deductions of £885.40 and £650.00 on the respective P60s your employers gave you?

    How did you receive the £650; as a cheque?

    I don't have an online account but I will call them to know why this amount since i didn't get it.

    I did checked now the P45 and P60 and the amounts are correct as show on the HMRC letter.

    Thank you

    Good Evening,

    I got a letter from HMRC with a link where I would insert my bank account details and a few days after I got the money in my account.

    Thank you

    Are you sure it was actually HMRC? You didn't use some sort of tax agent to make a claim for you?

    Good Evening,

    I'm sure it was HMRC as I never used any sort of tax agent to do this for me as it was always straightforward, apart from now obviously since i don't understand what they are onto.

    Thank you
