If HMRC say you have not paid enough tax. If HMRC’s calculation shows that you have underpaid tax of: Less than £50 for that year, then the tax should be written off. If you receive a letter asking for payment, call HMRC on 0300 200 3300 (or the number shown on the letter) and ask for the debt to be cancelled.
What to do if you think your tax is underpaid?
If you think tax was underpaid because of a mistake or delay by HMRC, you can ask them to consider writing off some or all of the tax. It must have been reasonable for you to have thought that your tax code was correct, and HMRC must have delayed using information for at least 12 months from the end of the tax year in which it was received.
What should I do if I receive a P800 from HMRC?
The exercise is not meant to apply to anyone who submits self-assessment tax returns. If you normally submit a tax return and have received a P800 calculation, you should contact HMRC.

How does HMRC work with the pension providers?
HMRC’s system enables HMRC to bring together information from employers, pension providers and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). After the end of each tax year, HMRC checks that the correct tax amount of tax has been collected for each taxpayer.
When does HMRC have to notify the taxpayer of an underpayment?
This means, for example, that for most P800 notices issued for 2016/17, HMRC has until 5 April 2018 to notify the taxpayer of the underpayment. Only after this date could ESCA19 apply. Exceptionally, ESC A19 may also apply if HMRC has allowed arrears of tax to build up over two or more tax years.
What happens if HMRC overpaid or underpaid PAYE?
If there have been errors, individual employees may have overpaid or underpaid tax. HMRC expects all PAYE taxpayers to check and understand their tax codes. If the code was incorrect, or not understood, HMRC expects the taxpayer to make contact to check the position.
Why does HMRC check your tax position at the end of the year?
