Originally posted by orientalist View PostSo CTDs were useless then, brought 6 years ago to stop interest accruing, if i use them to pay the APNs then do i become liable for interest for the 6 years after i've surrendered them, or will they apply retrospectively against the interest?
Have they never seen back to the future?Comment

I have a CTD got the amount I owe. If I need to pay the APN I will use that. I then need to find the amount for the interest + NI when/if we lose. Correct?
OR
Are you saying that because I surrender the CTD to pay the APN then the interest is then payable for the term I had the CTD because..... Nope I don't get it.
Can someone explain? Is this a real concern? Am I better paying up now including interest and NI?Comment

If you cash in a CTD to meet the APN, then it's as if you never had the CTD in the first place. Interest is due right up until you pay the APN.
One would have thought it would be possible to exchange a CTD for an APN. Let's face it - APN's are effectively mandatory CTD's which you have to take out - and cannot cash in until you win in court.
The big problem is that a CTD is deliberately kept totally and utterly separate from your tax affairs. Even if you lose, you don't actually have to use it to pay the bill (although it would be stupid not to).Comment

Therefore given I have a CTD for the amount I owe it is better I pay everything (including the interest pre CTD and NI) now.
WOW.
How long have I got before APNs are going to be hitting the door mats?Comment

What a total an utter disgrace. I don't know why I am surprised, these scum will stop at nothing.
Neither will I.

If HMRC won't allow an exchange, then yes, taking out a CTD was useless. Interest will be due until you pay the APN.
Or you could cancel your appeal and pay up using the CTD. If you took out a CTD very early on, this might be appealing because the interest could be huge, but then if s58 is eventually repealed, you don't get the money back.
Common sense would allow an exchange. But the specifics can get very complicated, especially if you have multiple CTD's with different dates etc. - the fear is some HMRC mandarin saying "ah, we can't be arsed with that complexity - don't allow an exchange".Comment

Do I have to cancel the appeal before they issue an APN? Or could I wait until the APN and they have issued details on CTDs in relation to APNs and then just cancel.Comment
