Tax

[TravelPostie]

Hi. I’ve recently left Royal Mail and was working there for around 2 years. I’ve just started a new job and received this in the post today that I owe almost £900 in tax that wasn’t paid by Royal Mail.

I wonder how this has happened as my tax got deducted every week from my pay? Was Royal Mail not paying my tax to the office?

I’ve paid the amount standing now as I phoned them and asked about it but has anyone has the same sort of thing happen?

Thanks

If you haven't already, get yourself sign up to the gov.uk Personal Tax Account. https://www.gov.uk/personal-tax-account

Might be handy to see what hmrc are seeing / saying your taxes were. Can compare to pay slips/ p45s / p60s.

I'm in my second year and it's the second year in a row I've had a letter from HMRC informing me that I've underpaid and will be paying extra on all pay until April. I can only assume it's the part timers fluctuating pay that does it

Just add up your pay before tax, since April 5th , take away £12570 and take 20% of that figure, this is the amount of tax you should have paid. Add up how much you have actually paid and if there's a discrepancy, take it up with HR.

You can also do this to get your tax free pay changed to £12,630.

Can only think this would be benefit in kind from something you took out on MyBundle and didn't declare to HMRC, most like a technology product?

Just to check. You didn’t buy anything through Royal Mail on the MyBundle did you. Loads of people have been caught out on the tax in my office?

Could be a scam lest haste and don't give anything out.
