No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

[smalldog]

This is just outrageous. The problem is it feels like they will easily get away with it. They are above the law...

They will just say there has been an admin error and that they are very sorry and that will be that. They never get taken to task apart from the boss who beats the same old drum saying yes we do make mistakes but do our utmost to rectify them so they dont happen again blah blah blah.....So I agree with you!

Dear Mr Taxpayer

HMRC strongly refutes the suggestion that your original letter was changed in any way.

The copy we sent you merely clarified it with retrospective effect.

Yours sincerely

HMRC

Extra line

What legal difference if any does that extra line make?

I see. Section 9A needs to be quoted on the letter to make it a valid enquiry..??

My understanding is that without it they have not opened a valid enquiry and cannot do so now. They must do this within 12 months of when the SA was due I believe.

HMRC Fraudulent copies

I hope that the names of the HMRC officials who signed or re-sent these doctored letters are being recorded and forwarded to NTRT so that these relevant individuals can be taken to court to appear along with Mr B and the other lying bar stewards when our Civil action proceeds.

By adding the heading "Section 9a TMA 1970 Notice" it turns the letter from just a general letter to a formal notice of enquiry.

Call me cynical but you think they are going to zero out the charge on the basis of that? Brilliant if they do though

I don't know but it would be worth taking it to a tribunal.

I'd like to see HMRC trying explaining it to a Judge.
