I wonder if you CN help me with something I hadn’t informed gov of my job change in 2017 as i only thought it was only when I earnt too much I needed to inform them,
I received a letter saying I had earnt too much a few weeks ago and when I checked and asked my boss about my wages it works out I earn 2 pounds month too much from this April …
I informed them of this and knew it would now stop but today received a letter saying I owe back from 2018 over 2600 pound due to earning too much but I have p60 to show I haven’t for tax Yr 2017/18 and 18/19 do I stand any chance of over turning this??
also can I use after school club costs and petrol costs for these as an expense?
