I overstated my income in the same way (deliberately) in 2009. Caused me quite a few problems in following years - finally resolved 2 years ago - just a pain to get it right. HMRC assumed this overstating was something that carried on every year thereafter. I knew I was paying the right amount of tax, just that it appeared on my tax coding year after year as if it was Gospel. I simplified my tax affairs greatly after my first wife died and I effectively retired. I know finally have a proper tax code that makes it worthwhile working for pin money. My circumstances were complex in 2009/10.
