HMRC Letter

OneLife_OneShot

Long story short I claimed working tax credits from July 15 - January 17, was on minimum wage and hours never changed.

Got a letter from HRMC saying I owe them £515.

Now I called tax credits in January when I moved jobs and told them my new salary and they said I would not be eligbile anymore and payments stopped.

I will call them after work but does anyone know if they will provide me with a breakdown of what I owe and why and also I can't afford to pay this right now, what are they like with payment plans?

Thanks

You would have been sent award letters at the time that would give you a breakdown of your award and payments. You can request copies if you do not have them.

First thing to do would be to establish the tax year the overpayment is for and look at the awards letters for that year. The helpline can explain why an overpayment has occurred. Consider your income for the year the overpayment was for and the year prior. An increase may explain why you were overpaid.

They do accept payment plans.
