    HMRC Self Assessment compliance check letter

    Hi All,

    I have received a self assessment compliance check letter from HMRC for discrepancies related to T&A allowance. As far as I recall, I have declared the T&A amount on my tax returns but in the letter from HMRC, they are saying it's not been declared and they have asking for £3k as unpaid tax

    I have couple of question and would greatly appreciate if someone who has experienced this in past can answer
    1. Am I being investigated for tax fraud?
    2. Should I contact HMRC and explain this or should I get a specialist?

    Thanks in advance...

    I'm assuming you did your SA and not your accountant? Would be a good idea to see if they offer this service in the future.

    You are being investigated for tax fraud, they are doing a compliance check and are questioning your figures. You need to check your paperwork if you still have it or ring them for a copy and just find out what the situation is first. Did you put them in or not. From that you should be able to speak to them and sort it.

      Thanks, I did put the T&A figure on my SA and I have double checked it in the SA copy that I have. And you are right,I should have asked my accountant to do the SA instead of me doing it...

        I think I have spotted a silly mistake in my SA.. Instead of specifying the employers name I specified my name... The figures are correct but it's the name
