    We would need a bit more information. 
    Do you have an online account, if so what does it say the calculation is from?
    If it was a letter what does it say?
  • Are you sure this isn't a scam/fraud?

    Even if you did (as an individual) owe HMRC £39,000 they only charge 2.6% interest so the daily interest would be less than £3.

    You need to give more details about what you have been sent/how you have been notified of this debt.
