Letter from HMRC

Hello All,

I have been on Tier 2 General and I have always been in a salaried job.

In 2016, I changed job and in November 2017, I received a letter from HMRC saying that I had paid less tax. Their explanation was that my previous employer had paid tax on medical insurance on £50 instead of £200. Since I fall under 40% bracket, I will have to pay tax on £150 at 40% which comes down to £60.

The letter said that I do not have to do anything and HMRC will take this money from my current tax in 12 equal installments.

DO I need to worry about it when I apply for ILR?

Best Regards,

R

Yes, I pay tax via PAYE.

Thank you, this is reassuring.

Not your problem. Be assured, as I receive such letters every year and it clearly says no action on my part and HMRC adjusts my tax code simply.
