Hi,
I have been on an emergency tax code since November, I am now on the correct code, however... I am owed approximately £1000 in tax, I spoke to HMRC and the lady was very distant in telling me anything.
She told me that I was still down as being self employed and that I haven't filed a tax return for 4 years and I have a bill of £3400 (ish) all built up from late filing penalties etc.
She was requesting information over the phone about when I was last self employed and so on, I couldn't give her the exact dates so she has asked me to call back with all the information, my concern is that I no longer have all the information they need and all would be estimates.
Who / where is the best place for me to seek advice? and can HMRC hold the money that I am owed from me paying to much tax this year because of these apparent penalties.
Thank You
