    Yes I moved back to Ltd company contracting with same client as they were not more enforcing Umbrella for contractors.

    The P60 gives the total of all tax and NI deductions made for a given tax year.

    It's no wonder, as you used the wrong figures from the the wrong form on your SATR, that your entries don't match with the payroll year end figures from the umbrella.

    Numpty.
    I didn't get any P60 from this Umbrella employer!

    Have you checked your tax code - both the one on your pay slips, and the one HMRC are quoting? If you switched companies and not checked, it may well be wrong.
    Have you checked your P60? > HMRC clearly says issue is with Umbrella employment ie mismatch b/n my return income (from P40) and figure from P14 of this Umbrella employment
    P45 only covers the particular employment. P14/P60 also cover other income from previous employments.>> I included other employments as well to the return, HMRC letter quote issue is when this Umbrella is employer

    Based on your history, I suspect you're not telling us the whole story, or have embellished parts of it.
    >> Nope

    If you don’t get an acknowledgement of the discrepancy and an explanation, I would name them on here and go after them on Twitter. Big umbrellas don’t like the paying public to realise that they’re as dodgy as feck.
    Ok. worth looking at this option , at least first part.

    HMRC corrected the tax amount because of these difference in numbers and in effect updated tax to new amount. Given option to reject it, in which case I need to explain and provide supporting documents. I checked my P45 which shows the amount I put in self- assessment. Thanks

    You log on to the Gov Gateway. All the information is on there. Even if you don't have a P60 you can supply your accountant will all the information and they roll it up. Currently going through this with my other half who's been teaching through a number of brollys in the last tax year. Gotta say, it got really complicated but the Gov Gateway got us out of a proper mess.

    Good point - the P60 is still around, even though the P14 isn't.

    Of course, it's also possible that this relates to car park charges or something unrelated.

    Which is correct - the P45 or the P14? You know how much you earned from your payslips from 'Big', so presumably you can figure out what tax is owed? Have you talked to 'Big'. They may not be your employer anymore, but they still need to explain.
