Originally posted by zoomfwd View PostI have an ongoing IR35 investigation and in 14 months the following has happened -
HMRC - send us copies of all your contracts for the last 4 years and can we meet
Reply - here is the contracts for last year, you shouldn't have asked for earlier years at that point in an enquiry and no we wont meet
HMRC - 6 months without a response then please complete this questionaire and give me a contact name at ClientCo
Reply - completed questionaire and 'no you can't have a client contact'
HMRC - not enough info to make a decision, can we talk to the client, have a copy of the upper level contract
Reply - no you can't have a client contact but happy to facilitate the the completion of a 'Confirmation of Arrangements', please send a template in the format you would like to be completed

HMRC - further requests for meetings with me, the client and a copy of the upper level contract
I have professional representation but this is so frustrating - 14 months and it hasn't really gone anywhere !!Comment
