No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

[Retro]

Well an APN arrived some days ago. Odd thing: it is addressed to an individual I've no connection with (totally different name and address to me). Forwarded on immediately to Montp.

I suspect that may be why HMRC bods are busy trying to call people to find out who received one and who didn't?

Mail merge stuff up

If you get my APN by mistake, feel free to pay it and I'll send you the money as soon as I can.

Ha ha, you couldn't make it up!

I've moved address 4 times since the MTM scheme started. What's the chances of me receiving an APN?

What a shambles they are. On that topic, i received my APN warning almost a month ago, but no sign of the actual APN - i'm slightly torn between contacting them to see if they have sent it, or just staying quiet, but with f###k ups like this going on, who is in the wrong if in 60 days time they bill me and say they sent something, and i didn't acually get it ? Presumably i will be...

Yes, George was in an IoM DTA scheme.

There have been some Tribunal cases about "delivery" of assessments etc.

If you have moved AND told HMRC but they fail to send to the latest address you gave them, arguably an APN to a former address is not "served".

If you have moved and NOT told HMRC, then if a notice/demand is sent to the last address they have, it may still be "served" even if you don't get it. If the demand is unpaid because you didn't know it was in existence, you may still have a penalty in such circumstances.

One of the features of self assessment is that YOU have to tell HMRC where you are.

The problem here seems to be that HMRC know where we are, but have used their IT expertise to send APNs elsewhere.

Spot on. They know where I am, they have my address, I haven't moved and I got their APN warning letter
