BN66 - Time to fight back (Chapter 3)

[BrilloPad]

If you plan to be away from home for anything more than a week or two, and you have not yet received Closure Notices, then make arrangements for your post to be collected or redirected.

I've just had an email from a poor chap who has been away for 3 months, and you can guess what he has come home to!!!

Don't let this happen to you.

Can I ask what will happen here? Presumably they will be appealed? What are the chances of success?

He hadn't actually received CNs, "just" a debt demand with a statement of liabilities, followed by a Notice of legal proceeding and finally a hand delivered letter saying they'd turned up to serve a distraint.

NW is now dealing with the local tax office on his behalf. Hopefully, he will be ok.

Is it worth creating a government petition?

I have just received a CN for my 3 years with the scheme & have just fired off a letter (one of DRs) to my MP.

However is it worth creating a government petition (see link). I know we are only a few thousand people affected, but could it be worth a try to highlight our plight and cause embarrassment. I am due to give birth in 2 weeks, so I will not be able to pick this up easily, however if anyone thinks it is worth a try - maybe they could take this forward?

I believe you can go to the magistrate and get it appealed in the same way as a parking ticket once they try to enforce it.

once again highlighting the fact that this law change is scr£wing normal family people.... Shaddha i hope you have written to your MP, use the "im due to give birth in a couple of weeks and this is giving me undue stress"

good luck anyhow

Leaving Montpelier

Hi all,

I know this a little off-topic, but I though I would ask this here since this is really the "Montpelier" thread...

I am looking to leave MontP and go back to LTD as I don't like the new loan scheme and I also don't want hector chasing me for the rest of my life!

However, I am looking to make a "clean break", in so far that I want my tax return for 08/09 (which I am hoping will still be done by MontP even if leave) containing MontP funds only, then everything after (tax wise) to be handled by my accountants (still TBD), with no complications of IOM schemes needing to be included.

The problem is I am struggling to work out when to give notice to MontP - do I stay with them up to the 5th April - the money from this work period would be paid to me in April or May but which tax return would this money go on - 08/09 or 09/10?

Any help working out this out would be appreciated! I realise that I could have given notice earlier and then just provided ltd co accounts to MontP for the 08/09 return, but I didn't get off my backside and take any action earlier, so now we are nearing the end of the tax year, like I said, I would like to make a "clean" break.

Thanks for any help with this and also thanks to BP and DR for all their great work over the last few months!

I "left" montpelier in October 2008. I did it when the contract was renewed : save messing about with agents and new contracts.

They will do a tax return for any year in which you have worked through them.

You could ask montp : but personally I would move now then just tell montp about any salary/dividends you have from now until 5th April. It is what I intend to do.

And another thing : if you want to work until the last possible date then use 31st March. montp treat the receipts from the partnership on an accruals basis - so for 08/09 it will be fees accrued in the 08/09 year, regardless of when they are paid to you. You should be able to start 09/10 with a clean slate then!

Thanks mate, much appreciated. I'd better get to work on sorting out a ltd co and accountants now (+ IR35 insurance!)...
