HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have recently checked tax calculations and found that some people have paid the wrong amount of tax. If this applies to any of your employees, they will receive a letter from HMRC and a form P800 Tax Calculation. This shows the recalculated tax amount and indicates whether they have paid too much or too little tax.

For more information about the form P800 Tax Calculation and what you need to do in your payroll software, please refer to Ask Sage article 26419.

HMRC have also provided detailed information for employees on their website.
