HMRC enquiries EBT - Castlemaine and general questions

[Jez123]

Hi

I've had a letter today form HMRC re-confiming the appeal is in place and that they will be writing to Bryrne and Partners to outline the HMRC stance on the appeal. They also state that this is not a retrospective taxation as the anti avoidance rules relevant to my case were in place at 2008/2009 !
I have forwarded the letter on to Richard at Audacia.
Anyone else received this type of letter?
Feel free to PM if preferable.

Hi rufus

Myself and a colleague have also had the same letter and forwarded to Audacia. Guess it's just HMRC twisting the knife a little bit more

Hi Bobgeorge

I've tried unsuccessfully to PM you (It's probably not a good idea to use e-mail addresses as you never know who is looking at this forum) - You will need to contact a Moderator to give you PM rights - see some of the other posts on this forum. Speak to you soon

New from HMRC

Hi Guys

Yesterday I have received a Self Assessment Statement from HMRC.

On it I can see a line "Assessment fro 08/09 suspended on appeal".

Has anybody else received such statement?

Cheers

Hi LudoP

Yep, I got the same on Saturday when I received a new Self Assessment Statement - It's HMRC's way of twisting the knife a little bit when everything's gone a bit quiet !

Yes I got one too. Just confirmed what I already knew really.

getting nasty

Hi All

Just to warn everyone

I had my 2010/2011 assessment through for Arnica Solutions on 24th December 2013. The appeal was posted on 6th Jan 2014 but I've just had a very nasty letter through from HMRC stating:

Please pay £ xxxxx.xx

"We contacted you recently about you overdue Self Assessment tax payment. You owe a significant amount, and you are currently in the very small minority of people who have not paid yet." It then went on to threaten that bailiffs would visit my home to view my possessions and arrange for them to be sold at public auction!

They had added the amount of 2010/2011 assessment to my tax code. When I phoned them to ask if the appeal had been received they advised it is now taking a month to process and if I call back on 14th Feb they will let me know!

What a bunch of charmers!

With BN66 we had quite a few incidents of HMRC representatives turning up at people's doors unannounced, even though they'd appealed.

They generally called during the day, leaving partners to deal with them.

If you get a visit, don't let them in. Simply tell them you've appealed the assessment and ask them to leave.

Thanks for advice DonkeyRhubarb and I won't even mention the bad tempered dog!
