Hi all I’ve received a tax calculation letter from HMRC on 17th of may saying I’ve overpaid £6k in the 24/25 tax year yes I’ve been working PAYE all year up until jan 2025 then I worked self employed (CIS) till march 2025 I sent off a self assessment I was paying 40% until I got my UTR through then to bring my tax down if that’s makes sense, I’ve called up hmrc to see if this letter is legit and not a scam and they told me over the phone yes that’s correct we do owe you this amount they can see it on there side.. due to my passport being out of date I can’t get verify my identity on website or app to sort on hmrc app so doing it old school way is the only way?? they have told me a cheque will be sent out to me wait up to 6-7weeks or even longer.. 
when I called up multiple times to recover this then tell me when I last called and then hang up as they said calling up can delay my cheque being sent out!! I feel like this aload of bonkers 

Any advice please? Cheers 

What is the calculation you have received, is it a P800 or SA302?

OP, if you are going to call people out for a simple oversight then at least get your facts right in your post. There is no 40% rate in CIS. Rates are 20% for verified (those with UTR) and 30% for unverified like you were.

Rather than being snippy with people taking time to respond to you, why not renew your passport which takes a couple of weeks.  

You can also use a photo card driving license, I think there is also a ID verification service at the Post Office.

If I had £6K owing which was delayed because I didn't have current Government ID I recon spending £100 on renewing a passport that'll do me for the next 10 years would be a good investment.

The real issue to me is the amount of the repayment- £6000 seems very large considering only three months of self-employment! Still, we don’t know what tax was paid at PAYE but I would imagine HMRC would be making further checks before issuing but…just conjecture on my part.

I don’t wanna come across as snippy, I’m justpissed  off about it anyone would be! I’m owed 6k as I’ve overpaid tax from 24/25 tax year I ain’t tryna get a rebate of 6k they have calculated that I’ve overpaid 

Well the repayment calculated is based on your self-assessment figures so technically you calculated the overpayment not HMRC.

As said above £6k is a lot of money and may not well be correct. Not uncommon for those trying to DIY their tax return to enter the net lay instead of gross in the relevant box for example, which will generate an incorrect overpayment.

Are you a complete retard? 

I’ve had a letter sent FROM hmrc stating that THEY owe me £6k that I’ve OVERPAID from 24/25 I haven’t filed a return myself mate I’ve already been on phone with them and confirmed that they owe me £6k 

I suspect the people offering up help on here in their own time will be less forthcoming with that type of response.

And don't forget you did post this a few days ago,

Self assessment tax calculation letter mate that what it says on the letter

You're doing a great job of not being snippy!

You said in your OP that you sent in a Self Assessment Tax Return, no? And you got a self assessment tax calculation.

But hey, I clearly stupid.

 I sent off a self assessment I was paying 40% until I got my UTR through then to bring my tax down if that’s makes sense,

So did you file a Self Assessment Tax Return or not?

 Not what you said here

2025 then I worked self employed (CIS) till march 2025 I sent off a self assessment I was paying 40% until I got my UTR through then to bring my tax down if that’s makes sense,

If your attitude is the same when you phone HMRC Ian not surprised they put the phone down.
