It is my responsibility to pay the right amount of tax, up until the point their computer system mysteriously loses one of my (main) employments from their records, resulting in weeks of discussions around the fact that I STILL WORK THERE.
Please repeat your statement?
Did you deduct a £100 penalty for missing their deadline?still your LEGAL responsibility to ensure details are correct , despite them screwing the system up, as much as we hate it.
I had the opposite problem of a massive rebate that I knew I couldn't possibly be owed. That sat in my banks safe for a few months while it got sorted.
I was cycle touring, I filed my accounts for 3 dormant companies 2 days late, 3 companies that had never traded and not 1p had ever passed through. HMRC fined me £450.
Talk about the punishment fitting the crime, of course this made me think, how can I get that £450 back? Totally counter productive.................

HMRC are not the tax experts.If you work for HMRC, you'll know how poor the RTI System is, it's failings, and the undue stress it causes honest people who put their trust in the tax experts. My trust is well and truly at ZERO.
Ive done this both through the comments box on the tax return and by phoning them up every year for the last 6 years, the forms just kept on coming
They keep sending you the damned forms. I've put zeros in all the boxes for the last 6 years running too!!
Hopefully, this will be the end of it, the woman today seemed the most clued up of the lot that i've spoken to over the years.
HMRC are not the tax experts.
KPMG , PWC, Deloitte , Ernst and Young are the Experts not HMRC. that's like saying the government are the experts at running the country
To be fair, that is Companies House not HMRC.
HMRC would only fine you £300.
This... then ring them up and double check that the box stating that you've ceased trading is well and truly ticked.Putting zeros in the boxes merely tells them that for that tax year you had nil income - to stop getting a tax return the following year, as stated above, you have to formally confirm to HMRC that you've ceased trading.
