[the great escape]

Section 28A(5) TMA 1970

It was closed in 2006.

The letter came from a Senior Special Investigator so it will be hard for HMRC to claim this was accidental.

The person who tipped me off believes there were others who had their enquiries closed. In fact this was the reason he stayed in the scheme ie. because HMRC had accepted DTA claims.

Fascinating stuff DR. Your sleuthing abilities rival that of Columbo.

So are we saying this ....

If HMRC opened enquiries on a hunch or belief that something would later help cement the reason for their enquiries but, at the time, they could not site any specific legislation (although they may not have been strictly required to do so i.e. "let's go fishing"), then an appeal to a tax commissioner stating that 'no specific reason existed for the enquiry' in the first place OR "case management prohibits wider lines of enquiry from being used retrospectively' could bring about closure of the 'NIL' variety.

May have been a problem on my part too as I hadn't checked the right categories in Wordpress. Should be sorted now.

It was closed in 2006.

So if this was closed in 2006 are HRMC still attempting to back date and apply S58 to these closed tax years for the individual(s) concerned?

Today I was presented with evidence which appears to show that HMRC allowed some Montpelier DTA claims.

Specifically they:

1) opened an enquiry into the user's tax return (within the 12-month window)
2) followed up with a letter citing Archer Shee and Section 739 as a basis for challenge
3) closed the enquiry with no amendment

The person who handed me this is aware of others who also had enquiries closed with nothing to pay.

PS.

HMRC cannot re-open enquiries once they have been closed, so anyone who comes forward has nothing to fear.

Sounds like another line of defence when my tribunal appeal is heard. Assuming I am number 3000 that will be 2018?
