how to change p11d

Hi,

When I filled my tax return for 2004/2005 I noticed that my benefits in kind was much higher than the previous year. I have asked my employer about this but they are saying that they might refuse to change the p11d as it was issued such a long time ago (I filled in the tax return at the latest possible date and didnt really take any notice of the p11d until then).

It seems like there must be an error - 3100 instead of 1400 the previous year. To complicate further I have decided to move to another company. Would like to know what avenues are open to me now:

  1. Is there a legal obligation for the employer to check/amend my p11d?
  2. Can I edit my tax return to declare a different figure than what is supplied on the p11d?
  3. Should I give up and instead fill in my 05/06 return as soon as possible?

thanks for your help j

I have just altered p14s and p35s for the year 2001/2002. So the tax office will def accept changes.

However in the process they lost all our existing paperwork, apparently one of the case workers has probably put the file under someone else's section. Ho Hum......

I complete my own P11D for a small company and a few years ago I paid some NICs in error on some milage. I wrote to them later to advise them of my mistake and the NICs were repaid so they will accept changes up to a point.

Thanks for your replies.

In this case I think my current employer has decided that they dont really care about amending the p11d (as I am leaving), so although I realise hmrc will accept changes, I wondered if they would somehow accept the fact that I dont believe the figure is correct, even if changing it is not in my hands....

Talk to HMRC, they are normally very helpfull. Except when they lose all your records which can be annoying ....

Thanks,

I had to speak to hmrc anyway and I asked this question to them. Their reply was that I should try to resove this with my employer, though they would be prepared to listen to my case if my employer refuse to cooperate.
