If you remember a while ago there was a thing about wrongly paid income tax, some folk were getting some back some having to pay some back, well i received a letter yesterday, actually received it in October but it was sent to my old address, turns out i had been overpaying tax, so it contained a cheque for................................
£13.46

I've got three jobs. Last year got two demands, for 08/09 and 09/10 £1500 and £1100. Coming straight off this years tax code.

2 years ago i got demand for 12k, i contested this and won. worked it out and yes i did pay too little - well I personally didnt pay too little - i was payign what was being requested.
I think more people need to stand up and contest this. WHY should you stump up if its not your fault.

I've got a £2500 underpayment request payable on the 3rd march. Goes back to having two jobs in 08/09.I had informed both HR depts that I had two jobs so I should have been put on the correct tax code.
Seems a pisstake to demand that much in 1 go. I was cosidering just agreeing a £50 a month payment plan but with the student loan as well it's just more money being fleeced from me.
Anyone got any ideas how I can contest this or just pure delaying tactics to get them off my back?

Co-incidentally, I left a London nightclub in the small hours of Sunday morning and took a leak in the car park of the CapGemini office block - they're the organisation who were largely responsible for the tax cock-up.
Hopefully that makes you feel slightly better about things

There isn't much you can contest unfortunately. If you notified Payroll that you had another Job 1 of your 2 firms that you work for should have queried with you your Tax Code.
Starting a job when you have a 2nd job means you should have been put on a BR code to ensure there's no tax underpayment, for you to underpay by £2500 they must have out you on a standard 637L or whatever it was in 08/09
As much as we all hate the revenue, a lot of the time in PAYE schemes it's the payroll clerks fault not the Revenue.
As far as the 3rd of march demand go's though, that's just a scare tactic to get you to contact them, if your still in a PAYE scheme they'll issue a new tax code for 2011/2012 to recoup the £2500 over them 12 months.
