Hi,
Does your OH have private pensions or any investment income ?
May also be an idea to check Tax codes.

Thanks enaid for your reply no pension no investments just an employee earning 45k a year he did change jobs in 2014/2015 which included changing from a company car to company van it worked out a shortfall of tax but we are querying that one has they constantly changed his tax codes but this seems to be a seperate issue read up a bit about tax on account but it's just complicated the issue so no idea what to do

Re: Confused after self assesment

I wouldn't be able to comment on tax for company vehicles that's a minefield imo.
Tax on account is a prepayment of your tax bill so I presume this is for tax year 2015/16, they are asking for 9k.
Looks like they are still assuming he has a company vehicle, but that, still a large amount.
Did you check his tax code off his payslips ?

Me too has he ever been self employed?

The pas I employ used to work for an agency and would fill in a SA for their mileage and fuel costs which would only affect their tax code as you said above, it changes all the time and is so stupid imo. You also have to keep records for this.

A TAX calculator tells you what your OH should be paying through paye it tells you at the top this figure may differ.

No never that's why I think it's a mistake but we have had no reply to any letters just demand for payment he even got his new tax code for this April so not sure what's going on

If you click on any of the categories in the list below you'll get the relevant helpline number.
My own experience has been that the people manning these helplines are very well informed.

Re: Confused after self assesment

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. They somehow decided I was a large sum behind with tax and it turned out that some idiot had recalculated and put my government old age pension of £130 pw in at about £100,000 a year (I wish!) Took a couple of months to sort out but got there in the end.
