The annual end-of-year reconciliation for PAYE taxpayers has begun, to check that people have paid the right amount of tax in 2014/15. HMRC expect the process to be completed by October.
Tax calculations – P800s – will be issued, and people due a repayment will receive a cheque about two weeks after the calculation, according to the Revenue.
The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has reissued its guidance on what taxpayers should do if they receive a P800. The information includes explanations on how a person may be able to reduce a tax bill or have it set aside.

LITRG chairman Anthony Thomas said, “Large numbers of reconciliation letters are issued each year and, while most of them are correct, many have discrepancies that can be due to mistakes made by the employer or pension provider or HMRC. Sometimes when that happens, the taxpayer will be able to have the tax due written off or reduced, but this can take considerable time.”
