Remember there was that fuss earlier in the year about the Inland Revenue making some sort of mistake, and lots of people were going to be sent letters demanding extra payments, or giving a refund?
Well I got a letter from HMRC yesterday, so I opened it hoping it was going to be a refund, but suspecting that it was probably going to be asking for money. My suspicions proved to be correct, but the amount was a bit of a shock - £2815! Given I just pay tax through PAYE ie. everything should be done automatically, something had to be wrong, so I rang the tax office. Ah they said, that would be your second job. Eh? I said. (Looking again at their figures, I can see that I'm supposed to have earned over £20k more than I actually did.)
Unfortunately they wouldn't tell me the name of the other company I'm supposed to have been working for over the phone, but they're going to write to me, and I've got to let them know if I think something's wrong.
Has this happened to anyone else? Has someone just got their NI number wrong, or is something more naughty going on?
