Benefit in kind not taxed

in Benefits & tax credits
I have a weird claim from HMRC where it says that taxes have not been paid for the benefit in kind provided from the company.

How should I behave? How should I approach the company in such situation?
Obviously I don't think I should pay taxes on them, that's company stuff but HMRC claims on me!

    As Poppy said, wrong forum.
    Ignoring that, what are the BIK HMRC say were not taxed?
    Have they been included in your P11D?

    Benefits in kind such as company cars, private medical insurance etc are indeed taxable. They're generally given to you by the company instead of them paying you a higher salary. The value will be declared by the company to HMRC in your yearly P11D and HMRC usually amend your tax code to collect the tax due from you.

    Are you sure it's not a scam?

    Just a thought. . .

    In the P11D is mentioned, but on the HMRC website there is the claim, I'm gonna call them to see if it's a mistake...

    So the company has told HMRC in the P11D whatbenefits they have given you, and HMRC have now come to you to say that they want you to pay tax on the value given ?
    That's correct, that's the way it works.
