Just to add to the doom, two big IR35 losses

14. Mr Bessell, when asked if Miss Tooze could have decided that she did not want a substitute, replied “absolutely”.

Cos Im a Substitute for another guy
Its a genuine problem
But you wont try
To work it out at all - you just pass it by

Substitute - like Brown for Blair
Substitute - At leat I'll get my Tax return done

That probably includes investigation costs, surcharge penalties and interest, which are going to be hefty on three years of unpaid tax based on a high turnover. So that figure isn't that surprising.

Of course there's no guarantee that HMRC will get this money. Especially if he had a coke/hi-class call girl habit and is now skint.

Does that mean jail time?

It would be very surprising (though I agree not impossible) for someone who's been a 100K pa contractor for the last 6 years not to have a spare 100k of equity in their house.

They will take this, long before they accept that you can't pay.

Claim poverty and negotiate a payment plan.

£99k at £100 per month would take 82.5 years to pay back.

My neighbour who had probs with the rev just declared he was bankrupt to avoid paying, he is now a caretaker at a local school.

Its true and fact HRMC and IR35 recks lifes IMO, how can the government get away with treating us both as business and then as a hidden employee, its one or the other ffs, this never seems to be mentioned in the cases.

Cant we take more direct action like the 'Dads for justice' group, should try and highlight the fact the governments wants to bite the cherry twice.

HRMC you are c*nts

Great plan Batman. I'll just go climb the BT tower with a flag on my back.

Contractors For Justice. Free the IR35 chains for the lone business man.

I was very heavily involved in f4j - 4th person arrested in the cause. I still speak to the head honcho alot - Matt O'Connor.

people seems happy to have their civil liberties eroded. as long as they personally are okay no-one cares. all it requires for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing...

my advice - leave it - not worth it.

what if instead of coughing up £99k he buggers off to some other country ?
what can hmrc do ?

They ask the other country to collect the tax for them.

Which they generally do. There are very few places that don't have some treaty with the UK in this regard.

Always of great amusement to me that people think places like XXXX are about watching what the other lots soldiers are up to. Nah, that'd be about 0.1% of what they do. The vast amount of it is tracing the other lots tax avoiders for them, and the other lot do likewise in return.
