HMRC Warning as 1.8 Million Tax Letters Land on Doormats - Don't Ignore Yours

HMRC says the PA302 notices cover income not taxed through PAYE or Self Assessment, with some customers owing £3,000 or more.

  • On Tuesday, HMRC began issuing around 1.8 million Simple Assessment letters for the 2025 to 2026 tax year, officially known as PA302 Simple Assessments, targeting taxpayers with uncollected tax obligations.
  • These letters target individuals with tax liabilities not covered by Pay As You Earn or Self Assessment, including income from savings, dividends, second sources, or excessive tax-free allowances.
  • Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC's Chief Customer Officer, urged recipients to verify figures against personal records before paying, with most facing a January 31, 2027 deadline, though some letters may specify different dates.
  • Taxpayers can settle amounts via the HMRC app, online through GOV.UK, or by bank transfer, with additional guidance available on the Tax Confident website for those requiring support.
  • Complex rules, including the 'phantom profit' effect for landlords, mean taxpayers should carefully review their affairs, Park noted, as unintentional omissions can lead to significant liabilities.
