I'm hoping I'm in the right place to post this! I am still relatively new to payroll and I have a problem.
An employee was given a tax code of 747L when she started in 2011 but the person who entered her details forgot to check her P46 which explains she has another job so was basically on the wrong code!
We have had letters from HMRC saying we owe them £473 even though it has been stated it was a genuine clerical error. The employee is also getting letters saying she owes £400 as well. We haven't had responses to our letters and its impossible to speak to someone about it directly! Anyone who knows when phoning HMRC its a pain and longwinded way to get to the right department.
Can someone explain if we should really pay this or can the tax office find a way to accept this was a genuine mistake?
Thank you for reading if you have got this far.
