..that I am disappointed that once again HMRC has deducted too much tax from my income this past year.
I have 3 pensions & State pension.
After allowances and xfer of allowance from Wifey I am under the higher tax (40%) bracket.
But HMRC have managed to see to it that I have paid £196.86 too much income tax.
It's not complicated, all of it is schoolboy maths at most.
But there is no easy route to getting your money back it seems.
They ignore letters and they answer the phone with IVR systems and just have you hanging on the line forever (at your expense).
Imagine if they had millions of punters all overcharged £200 P.A. that would certainly pay for a decent Xmas do, wouldn't it? ;)

Tell them you want to do self assessment's then. cos yes it is basic math, but you are in control of the numbers and payment with the SA.

W has the exact same types of problems. For much the same reason, mutliple pensions seem to fool their pants off.
Or she did until she made an official complaint.
And had to do it again the following year.

She says you don't have to actually be dealing with your tax online to do this.
She now has a dedicated wimmins dealing with her whenever she rings up. On a special number which is for people who are older and/or have a disability.

so i doubt you have anything to lose by doing this and pointing out that it keeps on happeneing.
Good luck with it. :)

Have you noticed the fuel pump scam, so when yer fill up most if not all go the the nearest pound so 10/20/30/40 ect
so yer get to say £39.99 & it never goes to 40 it always goes over by a penny so they are bumping us out a penny every time.
Ive started stopping at random numbers & the teller always gives me a funny look. 🤣🤣
