Can IR take from my bank account?

I moved from the UK to Asia nearly five years ago, I am registered as 'non resident' with the IR. I still keep a current account in the UK for a small pension to be paid into, apart from that I do not have any UK accounts, plus I left the UK totally debt free.

However, the IR is claiming I owe them less than 1,500 pounds which dispute & I refuse to pay. I am now almost disabled and unable to work claiming NOTHING from the UK whatsoever.

CAN THE IR TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF MY BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY CONSENT? OR CLAIM IT FROM MY SMALL PENSION?

Thanks for your help. I am adamant they are not getting the money.

    Firstly, you need to check when the tax is from. If it is from more than one year ago then you can appeal. Write to them saying you appeal on the grounds of untimely use of information. They should have put it right the following year. More details on this site. http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?... I recently had a bill of £1200+ reduced to below £200. Good luck with your appeal.
