20/21 Assessment - still waiting

caveman38

I posted a few months ago saying that my PTA still shows that 20/21 still hasn't been calculated - but I cannot find the post to add to it. I find that I am still waiting and seek advice. Although I know that I am likely to owe tax from that year, hoped that it would have repaid before this April following a tax change. Firstly I assume most people have had tax codes sent for 22/23 but how can I haven't yet and wonder if the whole thing will finish in a mess. If I start the new year without a code how will my company pension provider tax me.
Anyone else in this position. I assumed it was because of Covid, it taking longer than normal. Or have I slipped through the net. Should I contact HMRC or be more patient?

Your previous thread is here:

I'm in the same boat (owed about £2.5k in overpaid tax in 20/21):

Your Income Tax has not been calculated yet for 6 April 2020 to 5 April 2021

There is no need for you to contact HMRC about this.
We aim to calculate your Income Tax by 5 April 2021.  Your Income Tax will be updated when that happens.

Perhaps they're hanging on to our cash for as long as possible?

Presumably they mean 5th April 2022 …. Or some other date?

Who knows?  - seems they're a law unto themselves.

Perhaps we should claim interest

I'm in the same boat (have just started a new discussion on it).  Initially that holding page said they aimed to have calculated my tax by October 2021 - now it is saying April 2021 like yours!

Received in the post today my tax charge notice for 2020/2021

That would be exactly ten months since I sent a letter to HMRC informing them I had under paid tax for that year.

Dealing with ones own affairs online is far more efficient than sending a letter in the midsts of a pandemic.

Yes that may very well be true but to be honest I didn't mind one bit that I had to wait for ten months to pay my tax bill.
