Hi,
There is a bit of background to this query but the short version is that I was given a SA letter after 31/1/14 for the 2012-2013 tax year. The letter stated I needed to complete it within 3 months of the date of the SA letter, which I did and I also paid my tax bill within those 3 months (it wasn’t actually tax but student loan payments). HMRC have now fined me for paying my bill after 31/1/14. I could argue I didn’t know what I had to pay until I completed my SA.
Does anyone have an opinion on whether it is worth disputing this? It’s not a great deal of money but I would prefer it in my pocket.
