Without any input from me, HMRC issued three 2018/19 PA302 (Simple Assessments) for a client between April 2019 and September 2019.
HMRC got the bank interest wrong all three times. But tax was correct at £200 each time.
I have prepared the 2018/19 SA100 with the correct (and much more bank interest). But tax payable will still be £200 due to the generous £5,000 starting rate band.
The PA302 and SA100 will end up with demands for £200 payable 31 January 2020 using different Charge reference/UTR numbers.
If client pays the £200 through the SA system, will that kill off the PA302 £200 charge, or will HMRC pursue the £200 down both avenues. (I can just see what will happen here).

Why is the client completing a tax return? Just call up and get the tax code amended so they don’t collect it twice.

The whole point of the PA302 is that the tax (for the tax year the PA302 relates to) isn't being collected via the the tax code.

Will you be charging the client for this return?
What is the benefit of the return?
And to answer your original question yes it should.
