How can I challenge Inland Revenue on excess tax on my very small pensions? |
I have been informed that I owe tax for previous years 拢800 although I have just paid 拢572 back taxes and have been paying tax for the 4 years i have been retired any ideas please, Tony Meacham hello TONY good question and some good reply --- especially no 3 my advice is just this contact your local revenue office -- [ dont challenge ] ask for an appointment to CLARIFY your TAX OBLIGATIONS as --- YOU BELIEVE --- as a RETIRED PERSON ---- you are being OVERCHARGED MISTAKES DO HAPPEN but iff you talk with them & this is an overcharge !!!!! they WILL re-imburse you best of luck yours M. M. use a solicitor or a financial advisor Go along to your local tax office and ask to see someone, explain your grieveance to them and they should be able to sort it out for you. Good Luck From personal experience: 1) Do everything in writing (no phone calls) 2) Ask them to explain why you owe them money - then get them to do their sums again (and again, and again) 3) Get conflicting answers from different people, preferably also different tax offices. 4) Rely on the fact that all the people who don't understand tax laws are employed by HM Revenue & Customs. 5) Submit a formal complaint if anyone irritates you. eventually they give up on you - if it's going to cost them 10 thou to bully you into handing over 800, it becomes a commercial decision. above all, have fun with it - all public servants assume that the members of the public are as stupid as they are. You definately deserve an explanation from the start of where they think all of this owed tax is from! Firstly give them a call and ask them to explain it. If they can't explain it very well then ask for an explanation in writing. Unfortunately tax on pension is quite high but it is definately worth checking first. If the explanation is no good you may prefer to consult an Accountant or Payroll professional if the tax office cant give you a proper answer payroll qualified |
