Do i still own the Inland Revenue money?

Hi,
I always work PAYE, not a "limited company"

In Aug 2022, i had a letter from the UK Inland revenue saying i owed them £1112.94. It said i should pay by 31 Jan 2023.
When i checked through my payslips, i realised that one of my previous employers had not payed the tax for some of my wages. So i did owe this money.

However, i have been working since the letter, (on PAYE), and receiving pay.
I guess the inland revenue must have already taken the money from my account...(?)...because when i just went to my Personal Tax Account, it says i owe no tax for 2020-2021 or for 2021-2022.
Neither is there any detail of me owing any money anywhere on my Personal Tax Account.
So do you think its OK not to pay the money?
(They must have taken it out of my pay?)

The Inland Revenue hasn’t existed since 2005. If you have received paperwork showing that name it won’t be genuine.

If the paperwork shows HM Revenue & Customs it could be correct. If it was a simple assessment I’m not sure if HMRC are joined up enough for that to show in your PTA.

Sorry, yes its from "HMRC".
I am confused because in my personal tax account it says that i owe nothing for the period 2021-2022.
So i wonder why in August 2022, did i receive this letter saying i owe tax.
I believe that the Personal Tax Allowance web page is the "be all and end all"?

I suspect you're jumping to conclusions.

If you haven't received an amended calculation then you are highly likely to still owe the amount in question.

It's possible what you are seeing (or not seeing!) may be connected to the explanation given in HMRC's manual here?
