What did it say on your P60 for the 19/20 tax year & on your P45?

Found P45 and it just shows total earned and tax paid.............nothing about BIK like a works van (which I never had). Point being ex-employer has made a mistake and doesn't want to rectify this as we left..............common sense says that a company won't have as many vehicles as employees when we worked as 2 man teams in construction/maintenance.

Benefits in kind are not declared on either P45 or P60 - they are on form P11D which should have been issued to you by early July for the 2019/2020 tax year.

All I have received is a letter from HMRC stating I owe the £400 due to having a van for personal use - are you saying Company 2 should have given me a copy of my P11D? Thanks

Yes they should as they claim you were in receipt of benefits in kind and have declared these to HMRC.

From past experience there is only one way that this will ever be resolved.

Your ex-employer will have to file a revised P11D.  As previously stated if the original is wrong then this is also in their interests as they have to pay National Insurance on the benefit.

You can as much evidence as you like to HMRC but they are acting on the information your employer submitted and only a revised form from the employer will change anything.

I believe you are correct - but how does an ex-employee force a company (whose staff have mostly left) to re-submit a P11D form?

I had a problem like this where an employer had erroneously said that I had two jobs with them and HMRC wanted more tax from me. I wrote to the tax office explaining my side and they asked the employer who agreed with me and it was all corrected and nothing to pay. So for them to say that they can't look into it is wrong. Write to them, and politely with no waffle explain that the form has been sent in error.
