£3000 tax demand
Had a letter from advantis to pay HMRC £3300 I'm on simple assessment I have a main job and a pension draw down on a previous job both these are on my account on the HMRC app .the only reason I can think of is my tax code is wrong but if all my income is declared why is the code wrong ? I am paying tax on both.im on minimum wage and I don't have the money to pay £3300

I had this a few years ago, I owed a total of £11000 spread over three years, they all arrived at different times, on simple assessment due to payments incorrectly missed by my employer, I did owe the money but it wasn't my fault, they messed up on company car allowances etc.
Anyway, after eventually getting through to HMRC I arranged payments over 22 months, I went through affordability on the phone with a call handler and we agree on a monthly number.
Simple assessment comes into play when the amount to be collected is over £3000 i think, therefore you probably haven't been paying enough tax for some time.

Are you sure this is not a scam. This is a legitimate debt collection agency for HMRC, however scammers are impersonating it with fake correspondence. I would call HMRC to ask them. Good luck

As above - surely HMRC would have contacted the OP directly to ask for payment, and debt collectors would only have been called in if there was no response. Sounds like a scam.
OP- Can you see on your account on the app, that you owe any money ?
OP - As advised the first thing to do is to call HMRC 0300 200 3300. If you call when they open the lines at 08.00 , you get through quicker.
Or you could call Advantis direct -

Have you checked your HMRC online account?
That will tell how the debt has accrued

Hi OP. If you're not sure if the demand is correct, we'd recommend that you contact HMRC to ask how the tax is made up. If you do owe the tax, you may be able to organise a payment plan. Our webpage on tax payment problems and debt has more information. Hope this helps.
