Hi,
I need to send in an EYU using Basic PAYE tool after P800 shows tax refunded as a mistake for one of my clients employee.
I need to enter wrong figures first, showing tax refunded but it does not let me to do so.
Does anyone came accross a similar situation?
Any comment is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

You've already entered the wrong figures - with your usual software, presumably.
You don't need to enter them again.
Wow. Trusting RTI to process a deliberately wrong EYU and get the correct result?
1st question. Were the original submissions correct? If so, don't try to correct HMRC errors. That's their job. Escalate the issue. Raise a disputed charge.

Exactly, this is what happenned.
In our FPS-s there was one tax refund when the employee started working for our client, figures picked up from P45.
Now HMRC is chasing the employee that the amount has been refunded twice therefore he owes tax.
Obviously first thing was to contact HMRC and they said that we'll need to file an EYU.
Yes, going into a dispute with HMRC would mean a much longer process than simply just sending in an EYU.
Why didn't you say this to start with ???
If you have a P45 backing up your figures, I would pass on the problem to HMRC. You seem to have been perfectly within your rights. Another effect is - this seems to be leading towards you paying HMRC money. Is this to be at your cost ?
Have HMRC genuinely repaid this money twice ? Once via yourselves and once direct to the taxpayer ? Still not clear on that one.
Did you receive another notice of coding ?
If you use BPT to report an EYU, you won't actually report the original figures or the amended ones, just the difference. You therefore enter 0.00 as the original amount and then increase it in the correct figures box so that the difference is the same as if you had entered a -ve figure.
Does that make sense? That's what HMRC advised me the other day and the resulting EYU showed the correct difference
If I've understood your amounts correctly, I would enter original tax as (limited to) £0.00 and enter the corrected tax figure as £300. The resulting EYU will then show an increase in tax due of £300, being the required result.
You weren't using Sage Instant, were you?
