Hi,
It's my first time posting, and was wondering if anyone could help me with my situation...
I recently received Tax calculations from HMRC for 2010/11 and 2011/12, showing I'd underpaid and owed £3300+ in unpaid tax.
After calling the 'helpline', it appears that the underpayment had came from the failure of my previous employer to provide them with accurate p11d information.
I had been with my previous employer for over 15 months, and spanning 3 tax years - I left in July 2011.
The HMRC I spoke to said that they weren't made aware by the company that I had any taxable benefits (company car, fuel, medical insurance) until they received a p11d in August 2011.
I had thought of invoking the ESC A-19 clause, but did not know whether that would add or detract from my argument, and my attempt to send them to my previous employer for the unpaid tax.
Please take a look at the letter I've drafted up to them, and let me know if you think I have a chance.
Many Thanks

I have received your tax calculation for the tax years 2010/11 and 2011/12.
The calculations suggest that I have underpaid tax for both years to the cumulative value of £X amount.
I was unaware that my tax affairs were not in order and had thought that all the tax that I was due to pay was deducted under PAYE.
I believe that the underpayment has arisen through a failure by my former employer Company Y Ltd. to operate PAYE correctly and accordingly I believe that the law requires you to seek any tax you believe to be underpaid from Company Y Ltd.
This afternoon I spoke with one of your advisors and ascertained that despite being employed by Company Y Ltd. from 1st March 2010 until 8th July 2011, that you had not received ANY notification that I had employable benefits until after I had left the company.
Your advisor explained that HMRC had received only one P11d from Company Y Ltd. referring to myself, despite being employed by the company over the course of three tax years (2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12), and that this had not arrived until 18th August 2011.
Would you please confirm that you have approached Company Y Ltd. in order to recover the £3347.70 in tax outstanding.
Please also confirm that I need to take no further action and be fully remitted for any tax taken to date.
