I filed the SA return on paper in August and heard nothing till Nov, when I received a refund and an assessment with a couple of minor errors - about £1000 to my detriment in total.
I wrote challenging the errors and also to say that also that a small reduction in EIS relief was due, since the sponsor of one scheme had sold shares within the 3-year period. This should have reduced EIS relief from £8000, previously granted, to £7600, in round figures
In early Dec I received an apologetic note followed, a few days later by a revised assessment with a two new and larger errors. Most strikingly, the £7600 of EIS relief still due had been mis-typed as £760. This, along with the other (minor) error still outstanding led to the assessment about £7000 too high. I wrote, to complain on 29/12 and haven't heard back as yet; nor can I get them to pick up the phone.
But what I have received is a notice to pay £4300 by 31/1/19 with a line to say they'll claw the rest of the £7000 through adjusting my 19/20 tax code.
What's the general advice --- that I should pay the £4300 and keep arguing with them. Or that I should pay nothing till it's resolved?
Whilst I'm sure that their assessment is in error it remains quite possible that I do owe them some small sum - a couple of hundred, say - and I don't wish to be fined if that becomes overdue.
