The Guardian explains how you do it, or read up at HM Revenue & Customs. Be advised, this is a 'concession', it is Revenue practice only, this is not a legal right.
I do wonder whether this was something that Alistair Darling bunged in the tray labelled "Things for the next lot to sort out" a year ago or whether they've only just noticed.

The principle has been around for a long time. I tried it back in 1991 when they billed me for tax that they should have collected two years previously. It didn't work on that occasion, but I would always recommend trying - if nothing else to drive the message home.
Odd that the Guardian, that stronghold of folk who 'want to pay more tax' are putting this about. Shouldn't they be encouraging their readers to send off more than they owed, you know, for the schools 'n 'ospitals?
LR, everything is worth a try.
Anon, we must be thankful for small mercies. I work in tax, and when this sort of thing happens, HMRC usually send all tax advisors some sort of help sheet to explain what is going on, but not this time. That's the Lib Con's for you, eh?
Anonymous, if I were petty and small-minded, I'd guess it's because they want to make life as hard as possible for the current government.
But I'm not.
