Simple Assessment when still in Self Assessment

We have received a "simple assessment" (PA302) for a client for 2022/23 showing he owes tax for 2022-23. On checking on line has been issued with a Self Assessment for 2022/23. The PA302 only shows one source of income (BIKs) and is obviously incorrect. We will be completing the SA100 in due course. In the meantime can we ignore the PA302 or have I got to spend over half an hour on the phone to get it cancelled. Why are PA302s being issued to taxpayers who are still in Self Assessment.

Hi,

A PA302 is usually only issued to taxpayers who's PAYE records show that a Self Assessment return has not been requested for the year.

If online is suggesting a 2022/23 return has been requested, you will need to contact us so that we can update the record to cancel the PA302.
