Here is my advice on how to deal with your letter from HMRC
..
I am not going to re-invent the wheel on letters to send to HMRC regarding the underpayments of tax.
The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group has prepared sample letters and these can be found on the Guardian Web Site here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2010/sep/07/tax-error-letter-templates
(I shant copy them in case of copy right).
The first thing is to work out which category you circumstances fall into and use the relevant letter form the site to match your circumstances:
Now I would use the sample letter provided but add something to it. Just before the final line of I look forward to hearing from you.
Add this paragraph in bold, red letters:

The first thing is to work out which category you circumstances fall into and use the relevant letter form the site to match your circumstances:
1.Did HMRC know about your additional income because they had been told by you or by the payer of the income e.g. DWP for Incapacity benefit, NHS for pensions etc
(but see my note below)
2.Did you provide the correct information to your employer and they have made an error
3.Do you need the underpayment adjusted because it is incorrect
4.Do you need your underpayment explained
5.Do you need to complain because HMRC have not handled your case at all well
From what we are seeing so far a lot of cases fall into the first category.(but see my note below)
2.Did you provide the correct information to your employer and they have made an error
3.Do you need the underpayment adjusted because it is incorrect
4.Do you need your underpayment explained
5.Do you need to complain because HMRC have not handled your case at all well
Now I would use the sample letter provided but add something to it. Just before the final line of I look forward to hearing from you.
Add this paragraph in bold, red letters:
I refer to the attached letter demonstrating that you have applied the ESC A19 to a case of very similar circumstances to mine. In this letter you state that:
.. we should not ask you to pay the tax underpaid
I believe that the same should be applied to my case.
Then download and attach this to the letter to HMRC:.. we should not ask you to pay the tax underpaid
I believe that the same should be applied to my case.
