Poxy Tax office

It was not an underpayment.....I was given a rebate 2 years ago...PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE COMMENTING.

The Tax office even discussed I was on the correct Tax code at no time did they offer to change it for repayment.

Right, you either pay it or if you are ok with a bit of a drawn out process you can fight these things. I had an overpayment of tax credits and I called HMRC to tell them a few years back. They said it was all in order and that money was mine. So I spent it. A year later I get a letter saying it was indeed an overpayment. I wasnt going to let this drop so appealed to HMRC explaining circumstances. They said no I still had to pay money back. I carried on with this and followed the appeal process, and ended up having to attend a tribunal with a judge. Basically printed off the call I made to them as evidence I notified them (This was the key). I won the tribunal and didnt have to pay the money back. It was a bit of a pain having to go through it, but well over half of people who take these sort of things further end up winning.

So its up to you, if you think you have a case, fight it but it does take a bit of work. Or pay it and get it out of the way.
