Our Accountants In Kingston Confirm It’s Ok To Question That Taxman

With reference to one of our prior blogs on questioning that Taxman, our accountants in Kingston were presented with this query from one of their clients.

Key Considerations

“I’ve received a letter from the Taxman asking for my tax return for the year to 5th April 2011 to be submitted. But I submitted that tax return in September 2011, and I’ve paid all the tax due for that tax year. Do I have to submit that form again?

Harnett Accountants in Kingston were happy to inform them that they did not have to re-submit their tax return and infact the Tax Office had made a mistake. About 40,000 of these standard letters (Notices SA316) are printed with the wrong tax year: 2010/11 rather than 2011/12. Our accountants in Kingston then informed their client that another notice SA316 asking for the tax return for 2011/12 and a letter of apology concerning the mistake would be sent out.
