Can I find how HMRC has said I owe more Tax?

I am on simple PAYE but HMRC says I have had some extra income last year, about £550. The only thing I can account for is £408 interest. I thought the first £1000 interest wasn't counted.

Can I easily find out where they think this extra £550 has come from?

Regards, Rich

    yes, you look at your personal tax account, it covers the last 5 years
    Personal tax account: sign in or set up - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

    How have you become aware of this?

    How is the £550 described?
  • Your PAYE Income Tax calculation

    Estimated tax you owe

    We estimate that you have not paid enough Income Tax so far this tax year. You currently owe

    £342.20

    Ive got one too....I have hardly worked at all this year....maybe 2 days.I retired on my Birthday??Can anyone help please ???  
  • The £550 amount was on my tax coding notice a while ago....I first thought it must be un-taxed building soc interest, but when I totted it it all up, i am under the £1000 allowance, so I have no idea where they think it has come from!

    You are going to have to give more info, what have you actually received? A coding notice? A P800 tax calculation?

    What exactly does it say?
  • I always thought PAYE was taken at source and on Gov.uk I have a number of these that will be taken from my newly received State Pension or Occupational Pensions....Surely my employers(various) are responsible for paying this and reducing my wage slip ???

    You would have been better starting your own thread rather than having 2 discussions going on here.

    Tax cannot be deducted from state pensions. Any additional tax due as a result of receiving it has to be collected at other sources. 
  • I cant delete it ....I'm afraid !!
