I think the most sensible and time efficient thing to do would be to alter the notice of coding instead of putting in a Tax Return. The expenses incurred over what was reimbursed could be an estimate.

You're quite right what you say about PIEs but I can't see HMRC refusing the individual expenses comprising the PIE allowance evidence of which you will need to have gathered anyway.
