You have got very confused.

You do not enter the amount of tax relief on a P87.

You never the amount of expenses you wish to claim tax relief on.

What exactly did you do?

Were you claiming expenses greater than £2,500 in any tax year?

I entered the amount on which I am claiming tax relief on - £10 per day for 229 days =£2290.
On the rejection letter that i received there is an example how to calculate the tax relief owed i.e. 20% of the total. On the claim form it actually asks for 'Description of expenses' then in the next box 'Amount of expense' so I assumed that they would calculate how much I am due to get back.

s I filled in the figures wrong. I didn't realise that I had to do the calculation and only put the amount of the rebate which is £458 for each of the years.
The letter states that if I don't agree with the decision that I have to complete a self assessment tax return for each of the years.

Did HMRC calculate your refund based on you claiming £458 as expenses and you want to claim for the correct amount?

Are they saying if you do not agree with that you need to complete self assessment returns? You cannot amend a P87.
