Where to find tax accountant for my particular case?

nkomp18

I signed into my personal Tax Account and it says:
For year 2017-2018 the tax code at the end of the year is: 1136L
On all my payslips that year the tax code is: 813L

I think that makes sense. They charge me a few thousand quid and my tax allowance reduces by that amount. At the end of year I have fully repaid it and my allowance goes back to the full untaxable amount. The problem is that right around that time I get a letter that I owe a few more thousand.

Why do I always owe them?

I also have the problem that I receive multiple P800s with different amounts. Last year I received 3 all with different amounts on them.

Without the P800/P60 figures its impossible to say.

Appreciate you may not want to post this information.

It's not that I don't want to post figures, it's more like... it would take ages to type and I also don't have it in front of me right now.

The personal tax gateway says:

A previous year underpayment means you didn’t pay enough Income Tax in a previous tax year.

For the tax year from 6 April 2017 to 5 April 2018 you should have paid £21,539.2 but you actually paid £20,797.

Your Personal Allowance has been reduced by £3,711 to collect the £742.2 still due.

This means you will pay tax at 20% on an extra £3,711 of your income. This will be spread over the tax year so it is collected in equal installments.

Your tax code has been adjusted for this.

So we need the 17/18 pay details.

Do you get paid 4 weekly by any chance?

It also says for next year:

We estimate you will pay £584 less tax next year

and yet the P800 I just received says that I owe them about 2k.

I spoke with an accountant who listened carefully to my situation but then the call got interrupted and I can't call back. I hope they didn't run away not wanting to touch this case with a barge pole

If you have your p60s for previous years you might try inputting figures here

Anyway I'll keep googling and maybe I can find someone who specializes in such cases.

You don't need a specialist - this is bread and butter work for small accountancy firms. No firm will advertise this kind of work as it's so basic for a qualified accountant. It's exactly the type of work that small/corner firms of accountants do day in and day out.
