HMRC paying online for tax underpayment

I paid for a tax underpayment and it only gave me the option to pay for part of the underpayment (£55.73). Now the lines in the screenshot have appeared including my online payment of £55.73. And I also now have an option to pay the remainder (£117.20). But I also noticed a line for this amount saying PUP-CODED-OUT.CANCELLED. Does anyone understand what this means? 

Update: I just noticed they’ve already been collecting £117.20 since February 2025 so hopefully that coded out cancelled line means they won’t start taking it again in April 2026.

    Hello, PUP in this context usually refers to potential underpayment: https://www.litrg.org.uk/tax-nic/how-tax-collected/pay-you-earn-paye/paye-codes#8. Not sure if this helps? Thanks
