Thousands of people will receive a second tax statement from HM Revenue and Customs after the first estimate was miscalculated.
The HMRC states that errors had emerged in the process due to receiving incomplete information from employers.
“The majority of the errors have happened because an employer failed to make a final payment statement for the 2013-14 tax year meaning our records were incomplete despite reminders that these submissions had to be made,” a spokesman for HMRC said.
They have issued an apology and have stated that they will ‘push the boat out’ to help those who had already received a rebate and spent it.
HMRC and employers now use a Real Time Information system that is supposed to ensure accurate PAYE information is sent regularly rather than just at the end of the tax year.

With HMRC becoming more spontaneous with tax investigations we strongly suggest that every business is insured against the cost of investigation.
