Good afternoon,
I have just received a p800 from HMRC asking me to repay a sum of money that was paid to me last year and I am confused about it.
I indeed received a £1236 cheque in Sept. 2016 as HMRC said I have paid too much tax on year 2015-2016.
I have cashed the cheque, and now in April 2017 the P800 says that I owe them the same amount.
When I rang them, they said that when they issued the cheque, they didn't have the information of my previous job (I have been employed by company A until October 2015 and started with company B the same month).
What I don't understand is that my tax code is correct, and also the P60 I received in June 2016 was showing the correct information from both my jobs.
I don't understand how HMRC now says that they did not have information that I had another job and only knew about job B until early 2017 if the P60 was correct back in April 2016.
I can understand that the first company did not inform HMRC on time, but they would have because I gave my P45 when I started my job and have always paid the correct amount of tax. Now this £1236 needs to be paid back according to HMRC.
Could you please advise on what is the best course of action I should be taking, just repaying this amount or try to speak to them?
thanks all
