No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

[ASB]

It's fraud plain and simple.

If I did that in my line of work I'd be sacked.

I said earlier that I believe it is misfaesance. They should be sacked and proscuted.

but that doesn't, of itself, help the individual taxpayer concerned.

I find it difficult to believe that hmrc would deliberately reproduce a forgery. After all it is going to be common practice to request copies of things you already have.

So there wil be a plausible explanatil for this administrative oversight. Whether it will be believed or not is a different matter.

I'm not so sure about that. The only thing the original letter says about 2006/7 is:

"Given this you may now wish to submit an amended return for 2006-2007 to reflect that the partnership income is chargeable."

That doesn't really constitute opening an enquiry. Also, you can't amend your return once it's under enquiry.

Adding the following letter heading (in bold) changes the context, and weakens the taxpayer's position.

"Section 9a TMA 1970 Notice"

The letter was a fairly standard letter issued to many taxpayers after the legislation came in, so there could be a large amount of tax at stake.

The letter the taxpayer sent to HMRC gave the impression that the taxpayer didn't have the original.

There may be an innocent explanation but it's a bit fishy.

Happy birthday to me...

APN arrived today. Not quite the birthday card I was hoping for.

Loving the NTRT work. Thanks to you all - you are keeping me sane.

Sorry to hear that.

Montpelier are intending to send a circular about their APN strategy next week.

Too right!

Got my APN today. Will foward onto Montp.

Not that HMRC can prove it. If they contact me I will deny all knowledge. Let them resend it. Several times. Until they send it registered post....

When can we expect the next newsletter?

This coming week hopefully.

Outragous

The penalties are for not paying the APN on time.

Even if you later win your case it doesn't alter the fact that you didn't pay the APN on time.

What the F......!
