Hello!
I just started being self employed last year, so I am applying for my first tax return. I filled all online forms (for 2017/18) and my total income is 14,620. It shows the following values:
Personal allowance £11,500
Total income on which tax is due £3120
Income tax £624
NI £720.69
Total £1344.69
And then it shows:
Balancing payment: £602.52 and then it shows the total I need to pay is £1344.69 + £602.52 = £1947.21.
Why is this and why should I pay these additional £602.52?
(By the way, some online calculator shows I even need to pay even less: total of £1296, which is £650, so I am totally confused).
(I am 18 years old and study in university, not married, don't have children etc.)
