Resolve HMRC Tax & PAYE

Title:
UK Accountant Needed to Review HMRC Back Tax Demand & Challenge PAYE Coding Error

Description:
I am seeking a qualified UK accountant or tax specialist with experience dealing directly with HMRC, particularly in cases involving PAYE coding errors, back‑tax demands, and disputes over information supplied.

HMRC has issued a demand for back tax, stating that my tax code was incorrect based on information I supposedly failed to provide. I am employed under PAYE through a local authority, and I also receive pension income. I provided HMRC with all the information I had at the time, yet they are asserting that the underpayment is my responsibility.

I need a professional to:

Review my HMRC correspondence, tax codes, and income details (salary + pensions).

Assess whether HMRC’s claim is valid or if I have grounds to dispute it.

Identify any errors in HMRC’s coding or processing of the information I supplied.

Advise on possible defences, including HMRC’s “reasonable belief” and “employer error” provisions.

If appropriate, prepare a response or representation to HMRC on my behalf.

Ideal freelancer:

UK‑qualified accountant, tax adviser, or former HMRC officer

Strong experience with PAYE coding issues and HMRC disputes

Familiar with ESC A19, PAYE underpayment challenges, and HMRC complaint processes

Able to communicate clearly and handle correspondence professionally

Deliverables:

Initial review of documents and summary of findings

Recommendation on whether I have a defensible case

Draft or prepare communication to HMRC if needed
