Important: If you are a Sanzar, Garraway, Winchester, Darwin and/or IQ scheme user

[sklw]

How to I join the Group ?

I have PM rights now so how do I join the group?

As you may be aware, HMRC are currently conducting enquiries into certain schemes. Sanzar, Garraway, Winchester, Darwin and IQ are among many other schemes that are affected by these enquiries. For Sanzar initially they have requested a large payment is made back to them by each of their users based on a retrospective recalculation of their tax liability.

Under new legislation approved in 2014, HMRC will be able to issue Advance Payment Notices (APN's) for money that they believe is owed to them. Under this new APN concept we will have to pay up the amount within 90 days of receiving this notification without a right to appeal.

We have created a private group where all affected and potentially affected scheme users can join forces to appoint a tax specialist/law firm that will help us understand what our rights are and where we stand legally.

It is important to understand that even if you have not yet received enquiry letters you most probably will in due course and we need to ensure we all come together in order to have some sort of chance of getting a fair treatment.

In order to become part of the private group you will need to provide proof of having been part/or being part of any these schemes.

If you have any questions on the subject please PM myself or Old Kent Road.

Darwin/ IQ Contracts HMRC letters

Hi,

What the letters are saying? I received similar letters for 11 12 and 12 13 tax years. I was with Garraway until Q3 2012. HMRC asking confirm if I have used tax avoidance and how much loan I have received/ re-paid. Also they are saying" they believe that there MAY BE inaccuracy in my tax return and giving me 4 weeks time to reply and provide the information. In my opinion they are out of time for 11 12 and 12 13 tax years however they can open discovery.

Rgds,

"Self-Assessment Tax Return for year ended 5th April 2012"
"I have reason to believe that there may be an inaccuracy in your 2011-12 tax return as you have reclassified income as loans and treated the loans as non-taxable. I am now carrying out a check so that I can confirm the amount of tax you should have paid. To help me with my check, please let me know how much you received in loans from your employer or employers or related company or trust in the period --- and identify the employer(s) or arrangements."
I replied providing the requested info. yesterday.

I'm not certain that you needed to have responded to that request for information.
Many people with more experience than I are suggesting that this is a HMRC phishing exercise.

I would suggest that HMRC has no authority here and if they think they do, then ask them to prove it.

Otherwise, supply what you are legally obliged to but otherwise remain polite and professional but refuse "requests" unless backed by statute.

So how do you reply to such a request ? You can't exactly tell them to get lost ..however politely :-)

What gets me in all this is that these loans attract interest however its applied. And the loans are repayable upon demand. So do you claim a tax rebate should that happen ? My house is joint owned with my wife and I'm really concerned that I would be forced to sell to meet any tax demands as I don't have the cash...its really scaring me to be honest. No APN or enquiry yet but its only a matter of time I guess

Big Group

Hi all,

I am aware of this group, however I have joined the BIG GROUP as I don't have the lump sum to stump up at the moment for this group. The BIG GROUP upfront cost at £50 and then a monthly payment is more manageable for me. However I totally understand the need for the upfront payment on this group.

What I am not clear on is whether both groups will be fighting the same issues?

Does anyone have a clear view of both groups? I don't give away any information that I shouldn't!!

Thanks
Penguin

Can you please explain what the BIG Group is and what the do and how do i join as i am in the same boat as you
