    You may have misunderstood- there is no mechanism for transferring information in the additional information box to the tax calculation. This will be a manual adjustment to be made by HMRC.

    1) you have entered the information regarding the chargeable event correctly on the tax return.

    2) This generates a tax calculation. We know this is incorrect. 

    3) You are entering information in the additional information box, as advised by myself and Jeremy. I am suggesting that you advise HMRC as to the adjustment required on the tax liability in the calculation. This will be the manual adjustment to which I previously referred.

    4) It’s not £1245.20. It is £1356.80. You are due a refund as a result of your working from home claim and your fixed expenses claim (is this entered?) So the £1245.20 (if correct) will be reduced by £1356.80 to create a refund.
    Yes, my gain, my PAYE pay, the WFH 312 and the 60 are all entered, now giving me a total owed of 1245.20. 

    It was more before I entered the 312 and the 60, but I assumed it dropped because of adding them?

    Is that not what I am asking to be removed?

    Make sure that the tax calculation shows nil tax payable before filing the return.
    Apologies, this has confused me a bit. There doesn’t seem to be a way to reduce it to nil. That’s the problem. 

    Isn’t that why I’m adding all of this information into the additional information page?

    Not sure you are getting this. It was £1356.80. You have reduced that by the two claims to £1242.20.  

    If you only reduce by £1242.20 the tax will be NIL.

    If there was no chargeable event you would be due a refund as a result of your claims. Why should that not still be the case?

    I repeat - £1242.20 to be reduced by £1356.80 equals repayment due to you of £114.60. 

    If you are still not content - don’t advise of the adjustment to be made. But it will be the end result.

    So me just adding the 312 and 60 doesn’t automatically take into account those amounts? I thought that is why it got lower?

    I think the fact that this is part PAYE is what’s confusing me. I’ve only ever done a fully self employed return before.

    so I say in additional information that I’m owed 1356.80 and they’ll understand why im saying a higher number than the tax due amount? Or do I need to explain that?

    Not sure I can help you much further here. 

    One final attempt. Let’s say that you had no chargeable event. Your liability would be NIL. 

    You now make the two claims resulting in a refund of £114.60. You are DUE this repayment.

    You now add the chargeable event and you tax liability INCREASES by £1356.80 to £1242.20.

    You want to bring it back to minus £124.60 and require an adjustment of £1356.80.

    Huge apologies - I’m definitely not quite getting it. This is quite difficult for me to make sense of and I need the idiot proof version…

    Fair enough - I will leave it there. Perhaps someone else may be able to explain it better than I can.

    Ah, I don’t think I got the minus numbers thing before. 

    So the 1356.80 going to 1245.20 makes sense to you? And the refund of 114.60 seems accurate?
