HMRC

Oh dear I’m not happy with them at all .
Two weeks ago I set up a gateway account in order to give my Husband part of my Tax Allowance, now that I am no longer working . I do have 3 very small (& I mean very small) private pensions plus my SP , which is not the new rate as my dob is 1953 . I also retired from my p/t job ( 32houra a month) in July 2022
Anyway , I wasn’t expecting any rebates which is what the HMRC site advised may happen , As they stated that it could be backdated to 2019 . ie you may get a cheque through the post . nice I thought , that will be a bonus .
What I didn’t expect was to receive not one but 2 letters from HMRC today .
In short , telling me I OWED HMRC
Over £500
You can imagine my horror & they wish me to pay by 10/06 .
Obviously, I will be challenging this , but I seem to of poked a stick at HMRC asking to give my husband that £1250 . For them to take notice as just last year I received a rebate - in the post by cheque , I hung onto it for ages , because it was quite amusing .oh it was only £12:60 but a rebate non the less
My DH btw is still working pt & in receipt of his own pension meaning his tax code is set high , my thinking was a little help from me , would be good .
I’ll just go & cry into my pillow
