In total, 200,000 workers missed out on being paid at least the minimum wage rate - the highest number since the statutory rate was introduced in 1999.
Social care, commercial warehousing and the gig economy were the sectors most likely to underpay staff, HMRC said.
Research from the TUC union has previously suggested that the number of workers not paid the full minimum wage is about 250,000.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has estimated that as many as 362,000 people do not receive the headline rate of the minimum wage.
