Underpaid tax of £0.00

[BobbyD]

Greetings tax folk.

My annual self assessment question gets earlier every year!

This seems a little strange to me:

Our records show that your 2017 to 2018 PAYE Notice of Coding includes an adjustment for tax underpaid.
Estimated underpaid tax for 6 April 2017 to 5 April 2018 to be included in your PAYE tax code for 6 April 2018 to 5 April 2019 (from your PAYE Notice of Coding):

Estimated underpaid tax for 6 April 2017 to 5 April 2018 to be included in PAYE tax code for 6 April 2018 to 5 April 2019 - £ 0.00

Is that just a really clumsy way of saying that there is no record of underpaid tax, or is something else going on?

Thanks.

You could have the pleasure of sending them a cheque for £0.00 to clear the account.

I think it's just saying that although you had an adjustment for underpaid tax in last year's coding, you don't in this year.

If it wasn't for the price of stamps...

I didn't though, HMRC owe me money by the end of every year.

The only time I owe them money is when they misfile my return and levy fines for not filing, lock me out of my account for a year, tell me not to worry about it as it'll all get cleared up when they un-misfile my return and work out why I can't get in to my online account and then charge me £900 for non-payment of fines... I'll have to check which tax years that happened in...
