HMRC breaking their own SA100 rules?

polymaff

HMRC have populated, for the first time, my SA100's "11  Pensions (other than State Pension)" and the "12  Tax taken off box 11"  - but they haven't rounded up the Tax figure.as in "ignore the pence, round down income and round up expenses and tax paid" on the first page of the SA100.

The cheating B*****ds.

Anyone else seen this?  Funny how the error always works to their benefit.

Are they rounding down if under 50p and up if over 50p? Or just rounding down anyway?

None of the above!

They are copying the tax paid on my pensions directly into the SA100, so £814.20 is being entered by HMRC as £814.20, not the correct value which should be £815.  I've over-written it as £815, and will maybe get a bill from HMRC for a few tens of pence.

Just as they sent me last year when I "corrected" another HMRC error. (20p on my tax, so 20p on my first POA, 20p on my second POA - so 60p!!!!).  What must that paperwork have cost?
