HMRC Self assesment TAX

Hello,

I received a few days ago four letters from HMRC. Indicating that I had not filled in self assessment forms for tax years ending 2014 and 2015?

As a result I had incurred penalties totaling £1200 for each year.

This has totally come as a shock to me. I have not received any other letters in the past from HMRC regarding Self assessment Tax payments.

I have only had one job but changed in August 2014 and then again in August 2015. It is the same job but I moved to a different location.

The tax year ending 2015 they sent me a Tax refund.

I find the fine a great deal of anxiety when I do not have that kind of money lying around.

Any advice and opinion on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you moved house over the last 2/3 years, and if so, did you tell HMRC of your new address(s)??

    I have lived at the current address for the last 12 years. I have moved around, however the address I live in is the address I have always given.

    Have you ever filed a self-assessment tax return? Have you logged into your personal tax account yet to check what that says about you?

    Have you actually contacted HMRC to ask why they wanted tax returns from you?

    Without that information there is little advice anyone here can give that will help you to resolve this issue.
