Tax office claim i owe them

Hi. He's they said their prediction was that by the end of this tax year I'd owe £1867.73.

No. I don't have a company car.

I asked them if it was to do with a lump sum - from an old pension, that I took in May 2017. I paid emergency tax on that at the time. They said it couldn't have been because of that since it was long enough ago that they'd have noticed before Nov 2017.

In fact the paperwork at the time of the lump sum payment said to do a claim for tax refund. Can't remember which form reference it is. It's in my file somewhere.

If you can post details of the breakdown of this tax year's new tax code (referred to as l190x in your op) you will be more likely to get some help in sorting this out.

If you haven't got the tax code letter anymore you should be able to see the breakdown tonight by looking at your Personal Tax Account on gov.uk.

Thanks for your reply. I'll put here all they've said.

First letter on 29 Nov. Letter to advise of new tax code for 6 April 2017 do 5th April 18. Personal allowance £11500, less adjustment for estimated tax owed £13419.(note relating to this says they think I will owe £1867.73 to be paid by 5 April 2018. Next line says (name of employer) £1919 is added to this income tax code k190x replaces 1150L. Thanks totals your tax free amount £-1919. Estimated tax you owe this year £1867.73.

Next letter dated 7 dec. Tax code notice for 6 Apr 017 to 5 apr 2018. Personal allowance £1150.(employer name) £1150 of this income is tax free tax code 1150L replaces K190x. (This is where they changed it back). This totals your tax free amount £11500. Estimated tax you owe this year £1867.73.

Today's letter.Tax code letter for 6 apr 2018 to 5 apr 2019.
Personal allowance £11850. Less adjustment for tax owed previous year £9338 total tax free amount t £2512.
Total tax free Mount is used as follows
(Employer name) £2512 of this income is tax free. Tax code 251L. This totals your tax free amount £2512. Note on the back says we. Told you that you owe £1867 from last year. Have included an adjustment to reduce my tax free allowance by £9338 so they can collect the £1867 by 5 apr 2019.

I hope that was the info you needed?

The tax code notice is called a P2 Notice of Tax Coding.

From the additional information you have posted it is quite possible you owe extra tax on the pension lump sum you received.

Emergency tax code will mean you have received extra tax allowances you are probably not entitled to (this is normal for a first pension payment).

If you can post the pension amount you were paid (gross taxable amount before tax plus the tax deducted along with your February (or March if already available) payslip details - taxable pay for the year to date and tax paid - then it might be possible to gauge how accurate the £1867 is.

Did you get any professional advice about the tax consequences of taking the pension lump sum in the 2017:18 tax year?

Ok got the letter from Capita. Amount payable tax free ££6140.79. Amount subject to tax £18422.38.

It says that after 5 apr 2018 hmrc Will Check If Ive Paid The Right Amount Of Tax Or Not. It Says That The Tax deducted Will Be Emergency Code Week One -503L.

However, If I Think Ive Paid Too Much Tax I Dont Have To Wait Til After 5 April 2018 And To Ask For Form P53a


I did my own research before opting for the lump sum as was a relatively small amount.

Thank you for your
Help so far by the way.

You will be able to earn 1/12th of £2512, £209, each month before you start paying tax. They will collect £155 of the owed tax off of you each month.

You need to find out why you owe that amount ? Do you have a company car ?

What can I do if the £155 leaves me a bit short each month?
