Tax overview and computation doesn't match

Anyone else had this problem? Tax computation from my chartered accountant doesn't match the tax overview, now my lender wants it rectified and my accountant refusing as he saying figures are correct. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I go to another lender it will be the same. So I can never buy a house because of pennies decrepancy. Any advice greatfully recieved

    Ask the lender if there is anything you can do.
    Some lenders this will be very black and white and it wont fit. Other lenders might take a view if your accountant is qualified and writes a letter explaining the difference. 

    I sort of agree with the accountant, if it is correct then you cant alter it for the purposes of a mortgage as that would be illegal (it is HMRC he is reporting to). But it is also unusual and so I can also see a lenders view. If it looks unusual then it you can not ignore it.
