Something does not sound quite right...? If the under payment is due to an employer reporting error then as mentioned by cwdc56768 you may not be responsible.

For the sake of a call to HMRC it may be worth it. I'm assuming this is via PAYE...

Calling is HMRC is a complete waste of time. I had a query in January 2013 and spent 2hrs 39 mins on hold to speak to a human. When eventually someone spoke to me they gave me another number to ring this was answered and immediately put down.
So I wrote to HMRC on Jan 27 2013, I'm still waiting a response.
Also a warning to anybody about to retire you'll find your tax code goes down to £3000 tax free allowance, this meant for me a drop of £100 per month from my pension received.

You must all have been very unlucky. Every year when they send out the notice of coding for the following year, mine is incorrectly divided between my 3 sources of income. I ring immediately, sometimes have a short wait, but get the problem sorted there and then. Trouble is, they ignore what I tell them for the following year, and I have to go through the same rigmarole again.

We have phoned and written but they still get it wrong.

OH lost his job October 2012 (at that time it was already a mess taxwise), started two part time jobs August 2013, and they've got that tax wrong. We phoned them September 2013 (just after he started) to find out about his tax code for the two jobs. They said it will be the same as his full time job that he WAS doing. What?

That's the full time job he was sacked from in October 2012 and the one he had when they cocked up the tax!!!

One day they will get it right.
Waiting for the next set of letters and explanations and then will sit and do another long letter explaining everything again. Then sit back and wait for Christmas and the reply after that!!

The only way to win against the tax man is hire a accountant agree a fee at the start and process your tax returns.

Mr Fran is a payroll manager and he says HMRC are doing that all the time. It happens when the firm that is the ex-employer don't send in the employer's part of the P45, they assume that the 2 jobs are concurrent. They used to look at it in detail and actually work out what's going on.

I'm a housing support worker but I often end up dealing with tax problems because the job involves benefits advice. DWP are very good at not differentiating between the means-tested and contribution based elements of ESA and reporting a figure to HMRC that is far higher than it should be.

I think that unless you're self employed, it's generally quite easy to get your head round and the people on the helpline are really pretty good.

I rang up to claim back the tax on 5p per mile of work mileage as we're paid a rate below the 45ppm allowed by HMRC, and they made sure I went back the full 4 years possible and I got the refund within 3 weeks.

Just been sorting through all the calculation sheets from the last five years that the tax man sent us. Getting ready for the next ones which should be due any time now and then will have another read through it all and work out what to write again.
