    Ok, so before I start I'm not great with tax stuff and I'm very confused...

    I was just on the phone to the PAYE people because my tax has been quite high for a long time. About 20 minutes in to the call they guy I was on the phone to said that his screen said I owed them almost 2000e from 2011. In 2011 I registered on PAYE anytime to claim back my tax and filled in the information on the form they gave me and a while later the money was in my bank account. I was delighted anyway and spent it. But he said the file says a few days later they decided I owed that money back and it's been coming out of my wages ever since and will be next year as well??

    He wasn't sure about it, he said to go to the tax office..

    anyone have any idea??

    Really not enough info here. Ask via email for an explanation for the underpayment. If you do not accept or understand the underpayment, then query it further.

    What information did you fill in and on what form? if you input your pay and tax details yourself on the paye anytime you might have input the wrong amounts and got a refund that you were not entitled to. So when your employer submitted the correct pay and tax for you your file would have been reviewed and would have resulted in an underpayment if the refund you got was not due.

    I think it was how much I'd been paid for the year and what tax I'd payed and things like that. It was back in 2011 and I'm absolutly useless at this kind of thing. It's just odd that they never contacted me to say that I wasn't due the refund and that they where taking it back :s

    I would guess that Revenue did contact you through a new tax allowance certificate which would have shown the decrease in your credits/allowances to reflect the amount they say you owed them back. did you keep copies of your tax allowance certs for years since then and is there a noticeable decrease in your credits/allowances, usually with a notation that an underpayment situation applies ? any time I've come across this in past, the usual way Revenue handles underpayments is through new tax allowance certs.

    They could have done. I keep track of nothing. Fairly thick with this kind of thing. I'll go to the tax office during the week and see what the story is anyway. Thanks all!

    If you signed up to PAYE anytime and did your claim etc online then you're probably signed up for a paperless account, so everything is already in your PAYE anytime account/inbox, if you knew what you were looking at...

    Ask for a p21 balancing statement to issue for four previous years.

    Then check sticky here to make sure you are claiming all your credits.

    Should be able to negate repayment
