HMRC Simple Assessment

Jeremyjethro

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with a simple assessment. In August 2024 I received one and it said “you owe HMRC £xxxx.”

i subsequently paid this online in 3 instalments by the deadline of Jan 31st 2025.

Today I’ve received a letter demanding payment for a totally different amount (about £400 less) saying I’ve not paid my Simple Assessment . It’s for the same tax period (ending April 2024)

Needless to say I am now totally baffled by what has happened!

Can you confirm exactly what this "letter" is?

Does the amount requested correlate to one or two or your instalment payments somehow being misallocated by HMRC
