Determinatiion notices are recevied where HMRC do not get self asessment returns.
When you file the self asessment returns, HMRC will cancel them.
However, there is an issue, if the self asssesment return / determination notice relates to a period when they cannot be amended. In this past, you could get the determnation amended using "equitable laiblity", but this changed 1st April 2011.
Now you have to use the statuory procedders, which means relief is aviabile if the follwing condtiions are met-
i. In the opinion of the Commissioners it would be unconscionable for HMRC to
seek to recover the amount which has been charged by a determination, or refuse
to repay it if it has already been paid, see SACM12240.
ii. – The person’s tax affairs are otherwise up to date or arrangements have been
made to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, to bring them up to date as far as
possible, see SACM12250.
iii. - The person has not previously claimed special relief or sought equitable liability
– whether or not relief was given, see SACM12260.

Ladies!!! The OP wanted advice not to see the profession playing yah boos with each other
I suggest you get to an accountant quickly rather than attempting to do this yourself and [***] up. It will be money well spent and provide your best shot
