Company Car Underpaid Tax

Hi All,

Ok First thread and just wondered if you guys could tell me if you think I have a chance to claim.

June 2011 I was given a company car by my work but the tax man was never told. I was a naive 20 year old so just presumed it was all sorted.

August 2012 I get a letter saying I owe something to the tune of £400 and that they were changing my Tax Code to a correct one taking into account my company car benefit....Ok, at this point I am just paying correct tax, not repaying.

I then get another letter this year saying I now owe £600 they are changing my tax code again so I can start paying it off.

Can I claim this? I've been reading all sorts on the HMRC website and this bit particular sparks my interest

" Employers don't have to tell HMRC about any company benefits you get until the end of the tax year, unless it's a company car. "

Surely my company should have told them?
