    This is worth reading:

    HMRC appear to accept that if you live on Shetland you DO NOT have to pay tax!
    This is simply ASTONISHING!

      Oh come on, the guy's a loon of the highest order. Don't have to pay tax because he lives on Shetland? More like HMRC realised that, in fact, he doesn't have to submit SA returns every year and have cancelled the penalties on that basis.

      I for one really don't want our professional, legally sound tax planning to be associated in any way with a nutter like that.

        There's a thin line between genius and nutter

          Letter from MP

          Received a letter from MP indicating that the Tax Company had collated a lot of info from HRMC under the freedom of information act and now awaiting the hearing date re JR Application

          Sounds promising

              Assume you are referring to MontP? Didn't DR request to get this info under FOI and didn't get a great response i.e info wasn't retained?

              Anyone else got this letter?]

                  Yes, I received the letter too. It says exactly what the OP has stated, along with stating that their bank is now using the "faster payment" system to make payments under 10k to people quicker. The letter was dated 9th March so everyone should receive it soon I would think.

                      Not quite true. We got some useful info, which was passed to MontP. MontP also got the terms of the Suo Motu settlement from us.

                      Following consultation with WG, we challenged the "brush off" with a snotty letter and are awaiting HMRC's response.

                      Further FOI requests are in the pipeline. We are determined to prise as much as we can out of the buggers.

                      If nothing else, at least we are keeping Mr B occupied.
