Something doesn't sound right here.
He wasn't working for us, or returning our calls / emails and didn't speak to me at all before drafting our response. I prepared an 8 page document giving points as to why I thought we were outside and he ignored the whole document. He just wasn't working in our best interests. We paid for another tax consultant who re-wrote our response after discussions with us and took on board the points I raised (some positive and some negative as he pointed out and explained). He was excellent and I just wish we hadn't taken the insurance that gave us the first 'tax consultant'.Comment

I'm probably a bit pessimistic about chances as didn't realise we only need to prove one factor outside. I know the final letter challenges all areas so fingers crossed.
Either way I knew there was a risk, I can afford to deal with the issue if absolutely have to although it will hurt.
What I'm unclear on is what period will it cover. Am I right in saying they can go back 6 year (maximum) and if so when would this period start?Comment

6 years from the end of the relevant period when there is an extended time limit.Comment

However, spelling HMRC incorrectly, posting in the wrong forum, and providing almost no useful information upfront wasn't a great start...
Following some of the above advice would be a good start, notably about having a specialist onside before the OP bungles this beyond the point of no return.Comment
