Money Box Live - 08/09/2010

Money Box Live returns to Radio 4 this afternoon, with Paul Lewis and guests taking your calls about dealing with tax errors. HM Revenue and Customs are writing to six million people who've paid the wrong amount of tax through the Pay as You Earn system. People who've underpaid will be asked to make good the shortfall while others will receive a rebate. If you've received a letter and would like some advice about what to do next, why not contact the programme? Perhaps you're wondering how to check your tax record and correct mistakes. And could any over or underpayment affect your benefit claims? Whatever your concern, Paul Lewis and guests will be ready to help. Phone lines open at 1.30 this afternoon and the number to call is 03700 100 444. Standard geographic charges apply. Calls from mobiles may be higher. The programme starts after the three o'clock news. That number again 03700 100 444.
