Thanks for getting back to me !

Re IR35 - for those years I was a contractor i.e. "passed" the employee test

In 2014-15 I paid myself £10027 and in 2015-16 £9849 alongside some dividend payments.

I'm also in the process of writing to HMRC to ask for details on where the charge came from so will report back when I hear from them !

Cheers,

Sounds to me like the claim wasn't made properly for the allowance.

Eh?

I ask because HMRC do not believe that you can claim the employment allowance if you are IR35.

I disagree and have claimed it for my clients, but HMRC disagree.

Therefore, my question was relevant...

This makes even less sense than craigys reply

How much were you paying yourself for those two years?

PAYE Employment Allowance

Hi ! I've just received a PAYE underpayment letter from HMRC for years ending 2015 and 2016 - double checking my account on-line all the balances were £0 so I gave HMRC a call.

They said it was due to the employment allowance I used in those years no being allowable (I'm a single employer/director company).

I stopped claiming this from April 2016 when the rules changed https://www.gov.uk/government/public...es-in-the-year

HMRC said it wasn't allowable from 2014 but I can't see anywhere it says it was (or will be) applied retrospectively.

Has anyone else had similar issues/discussions with HMRC ?

Many thanks in advance !
