OK HMRC may choose not to use logic but this is a breach of their own contract.
Read the posts above - even the accountants can't agree on any interpretation, let alone understand each other's posts. And if they can't follow the logic (or lack of) how is Jo Public to follow it?Comment

Originally posted by sbar99920 View PostHi there,
Am a bit confused. Paid my £200 and the first years subscription up front. Now, in previous posts and messages from webberg, I made the assumption that I could join and get some advice and strategies on my particular solution. I have posted some questions on the forum and have been told that individual advice is around £600 + VAT. Seems I have access to a forum where I cannot get individual advice pertinent to my situation without more fees? What about some more of the decent and general advice given by webberg for free here and other messages. Webberg does work for WTT right?
Of course I understand the opting in bit, but how can I make a decision to opt in without advice in the first place?
Maybe I have just gotten the wrong end of the stick? Wouldn't be the first time and I apologise in advance if I am incorrect in my understanding of what it means to be a WTT member.
cheers
Joining Big Group gives you access to the group and its resolution process. The BG forum does have a range of template letters and responses and general advice about what to do with HMRC enquiries etc.
What is does not do is give you individual advice about your personal circumstances. That is just not possible for the price.
WTT Consulting advises BG. It also advises those who want personal help.
Some BG members are advised by WTT, some are advised by others.
If you feel you want more or at not getting what you wanted, then call us. Pretty sure that this would have been explained on joining.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

Originally posted by HMRC made Atlas Shrug View PostSorry for going around in circles on this but it is doing my brain in.
Surely points two and three are removed / nullified the moment HMRC charge PAYE because now the money was taxed as income. The only point left is the first one and HMRC (as in my case) already charged me PAYE on the money.
What HMRC is therefore saying (in my case) is they are using point 1 and 4 (because of my "released" income (loan)). I guess HMRC rewrite the rules and they can pick and choose as they like.
This is just me again. You don't need to responds to this because I'm not going to get this no-logic.
Imagine that you were a permie, received a salary (taxed) and decided to set up a trust of your own.
The contribution to the trust is from taxed income.
I have to disagree about "no logic". I think it's perhaps the only answer that a Court could come to.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

Since I did not set up a trust of my own, surely we are back to my argument that point 2 & 3 are not valid the moment I paid PAYE on the income.Comment

I do not get this. I would have thought since I sent in my documents that show the release of my loan was included in the settlement as well as IHT, people representing other contractors would jump at the chance to have a look and help me. Surely if I am right and someone can help me get HMMafia off my back regarding IHT, they should be able to demand the same treatment (deal) for their clients. We all did the same thing and should be taxed the same ? Just saving the IHT is a saving of many thousands.
So don't think free is as great as it sounds, you get what you paid for.Comment

Originally posted by HMRC made Atlas Shrug View PostCorrect me if I'm wrong but what you are saying is points 2 & 3 are valid points if I set up a trust of my own ?

If money is settled on a trust by a third party (an employer) acting as an employer, it has a certain analysis.
If money is settled on a trust by you (so you are settlor and beneficiary) and the "employer" is just a conduit for funds, i.e. the employer is acting under actual or presumed instruction, it has potentially, a different analysis.
It is our view that many schemes out there are of the second type and thus, HMRC's analysis of IHT is incorrect.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

Originally posted by HMRC made Atlas Shrug View PostI do not know if you as a member ever asked for individual advice and how long it took to receive the advice. As a non-member I'm still waiting on my free initial advice and its coming up to 8 weeks of waiting.

To be fair, whatever you end up paying BG will be a fraction of the ~10% fees you handed over to the cowboys who sold the scheme.
Having said that, it all adds up and only time will tell if there will be any ROI. Probably best to treat it as a punt.Comment

The last e-mail you sent me was on 27/10/2017.

This is the e-mail address I used: g*****.w*****@wttconsulting.co.uk
Maybe I missed something ?
What I'm hoping is for someone (maybe legal ?) to look at the wording in HMRC's document and say if the release of my loan as well as IHT are included or not. If it works for me, surely you guys can do (ask for) the same.Last edited by HMRC made Atlas Shrug; 28 November 2017, 11:55.Comment
