In addition, he became still more difficult to keep a person revenue and customs (HMRC) that can sort the erreurs.IES announced this week that its service hotline may be closed on Sunday November 29 and will open only until 4 p.m. to 8: 00 a.m. on Saturday.

Even if you end up hanging the phone, the tax has been systemic errors in so many cases where you really need to check if their calculations are just before pay you. We asked for accounting for advice to help Canadians cope with the letters of the tax.

Roy-Chowdhury, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants said: "all items and amounts carefully check any letter you receive and don't be afraid to challenge the ISS."For example, you agree that you have a car company, with a specific value and emissions of carbon dioxide, as stated? Do you have a private medical insurance? ?

Geoff Everett, Director of tax accounting Smith & Williamson, said: "If you get a tax - statement officially called form IES P800 - who you believe is incorrect, gaps to bring to the attention of the tax office immediately." Don't wait until the tax is currently required. If you disagree with the authorities, edit your point in writing and be able to provide proof, ideally copies appui.Veillez paperwork to keep a copy of all correspondence. ?

You may need to produce pay slips, evidence of pension contributions and other documents from as early as 2004. George Bull accountants Baker Tilly said: "ies has only checked for the years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 taxation but if you have overpaid tax you can claim back at least as far as 2006-2007 and it will be able to claim back as 2004/05, in certain circumstances."Four years is now the normal period for reclaiming tax overpaid, but people who were sent reports revenues in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 can claim back tax paid in those years as well. ?

Mr. Everett said: "If you've taken their retirement in recent years, change of employment, receive benefits in kind or have more than one job, you're more likely to be threatened by inadequate or evade tax." You are also at risk if you have made additional voluntary contributions (CF) to your pension or donated to charity through the gift aid scheme.Another category of risk includes those generally with investment income relatively small, perhaps dividends or the location property, but which varies from year to year.

Mr. Bull said: "HMRC not write duty-free if she had information relevant to your tax liability and failed to make good use of this information within 12 months after the end of the taxation year in which the information has been received."This is probably mean that most people whose "tax arrears" relate only to 2009-2010 will have to pay tax, unless ies undertakes to cancel debt for reasons of difficultés.Si error was committed in 2008-2009 and the requirement of one year may be satisfied if the tax were also not paid in 2009-2010, due to the same error, tax this year must be written off the coast of too.

Mr Everett said: "the authorities have confirmed that when the underpayment fee for a taxation year is less than ￡ 300 ISS will be the amount rather than gathering."

Mr. Whiting said: "" people who receive what seems to be a tax claim can take comfort that this is not a formal request - but it is an indication of what ies you think devoir.Il are simple steps you should take some basic such as data verification; what is meaning? IES has a car company, you have given years there is, for example? figures look rights? retired, for example, often find that IES has used the wrong amount for the basic State pension ".".

Mr. Bull urged people expect a refund not to simply sit and hope. ""If you have overpaid tax and that this back now, you need to claim that it", he said.

Mr Everett noted: "ies will send out tax requirements only by écrit.Si you will receive an email or a phone call saying you liable to pay the additional tax but nothing written IES get, then only pay."
