Random £900 tax underpayment

Dazed_and_C0nfused

So someone from HMRC(?) mentioned this in a phone call but you have had no letter, calculation or demand of any sort from them?

And you know for a fact that your tax to April 2019 was all ok as well?

I'm not sure this £900 actually exists.

Yes it’s so confusing what’s going on no letter of decision or anything.. no explanation of taking £187 tax from my week wage.. I’m 100% certain I don’t owe any tax from previous years my own tax credit account states I’ve paid the right amount each tax year, I’m hoping it doesn’t happen exist but why would come up with such a thing

Have you logged in to your online account? This may help. If you have any savings it may be estimated interest. Look at your tax code for next year to see if it is the same. Hope this helps.

Op your clutching at straws, until you know the exact amount and calculations your guess is as good as ours.

Next year tax code says 776l what is this code, does this mean my new tax free amount is £7768? Can someone explain what happens now please and why my account says I will pay £1353 less tax next year??

You need to tell us the make up of the tax code, 776L on its own doesn't really tell us anything.

My tax free amount has gone from £12500 to £7768 I think that explains the L code, 1250L to 776L. HMRC are impossible to deal with on the phone, they don’t reply to my face to face enquiry, I’ll take this to the financial ombudsman

First, there should be a link called something like "Check your tax free amount" - what does it say?

Second, in your income from employment section, it will show you how many jobs HMRC thinks you currently have.  Is this information correct?  I.e., check they don't think your old job isn't still live along with your new one.  The lack of a P45 could be confusing them.

You can't take HMRC to financial ombudsman, they're not covered.  There is an HMRC appeals process but first let's establish the situation before rushing to make a formal complaint.

If you know that then surely you know what has reduced the £12,500?

Is this something to do with the mysterious £900?  

Reduction of £4,732 might collect £946 extra tax (£4,732 X 20%).

There’s no link it’s just states £12500 and then deduction of £4732 to my new figure £7768 from April 2020, the income proves I’ve only had one job at the same time, it over lapped by a weeks wage, My old employer didn’t give me a p45 until a month later to which was sent to Hmrc, I did a starter checklist within a week of my new job, I did everything right on my side, I’ve been paying emergency tax ever since I started there for 9 weeks now
