IR35/ Offshore scheme/ HMRC - potential liability

[DonkeyRhubarb]

But maybe that's what it' sall about right now and their intention is (simply): you tried to screw us for tax and NI, so we're going to make your life as miserable as possible, without actually being able to nail you to the mast right now , but don't ever try to relax matey boy.

That just about sums it up I think, and why they may leave returns open indefinitely unless you ask for closure. The problem is who wants to stick their head above the parapet?

You should ask Horizon whether they have any plans to force the issue with HMRC and push for closure.

As Emigre said, until BN66 is resolved I think it's unlikely we'll see more retro legislation.
