Random £900 tax underpayment

Dazed_and_C0nfused

Have you asked them to issue you (and your current employer) with a cumulative tax code?

That means any adjustment due for the current tax year, whether it be extra tax to pay or a refund due to you, is resolved then first time your employer uses the new tax code.

There would then be no extra tax to collect next tax year, if that is in fact what is happening.

I hope this is the outcome and get a refund of the emergency I’ve been paying, how Likely is it that it’d a mistake an I won’t have to pay them anything?

The only other things I can think of to suggest are:
1. To view every page of the personal tax account and use the "report a change" if you see anything incorrect.  There is a facility to tell them an employment has ended, if they haven't already got the message.
2. Write to ask them to review your tax calculation as you disagree with the £900 underpayment.  Don't phone them though, the people on the phone can't help, if you write it will get passed to someone more knowledgeable.

They have got the message and it also shows when my last employment ended, only have 1 current on my account.. okay thanks I will write to them, shal I enclose any documents to go with it?

There is no point in writing to them about a new tax code this late on in the tax year.

By the time they look at your letter the tax year will have ended.

You need to work out if you have paid roughly the correct amount of tax on the two jobs, or have paid too much.  If so you need a cumulative tax code so your current employer can make any adjustment the next time they pay you (after receipt of the new tax code).

My suggestion was write to them to complain about next year's tax code.

I did pay the right amount previous job until I changed job I’ve been paying too much 100% where was this hmrc advisor getting the 900 from

This thread is a bit like pulling teeth but it seems like the op thinks they owe £900 for the current tax year.  Which is probably why next tax years code has been reduced.

So if the current tax years code is sorted then there should be no tax to be collected next tax year therefore no tax code for next year to sort out (or more accurately it will sort itself out once the current years code is sorted).

You make a fair point.

My suggestion was really just a way to prompt HMRC to reconsider as OP has already tried calling them about current year tax code without success.  It will probably resolve itself in April anyway.

I’ve tried several times but no success, so you’re saying sorted as in pay the 900 before April? What would you do in this situation 

Dazed_and_C0nfused

I thought you didn't owe £900?

So why would you pay £900?

All I mean is if you are on a cumulative tax code your tax for the current year will be correct and there will be no tax owed.

This might mean an adjustment when your new employer uses the cumulative tax code.  You need to use a site like listentotaxman to check what that adjustment will be.  Could be a refund to you.  Could be paying a bit more for one week.  But you seemed confident until your latest post that it isn't £900
