Had apn warning letter but no discovery or open enquiry. Tax year 10/11. challenged hmrc and they phoned today and will write to confirm they will not issue apn and that 10/11 tax year I'd closed on 4 year rule. Great relief.

How did you challenge them ?

Simple letter stating that I had no correspondence from HMRC regarding a discovery or open enquiry. I asked them to provide evidence of either.

Hi Phil. I am abroad for next few weeks and even though I have my laptop, can't find the letter. Have hard copy at home. The letter I sent was not via an advisor but just my own words. As follows I think:

I refer to your letter ref: ?????

This is in respect of an early notice that you will issue me with an APN in respect of tax year 2010/11.

I have had no correspondence from you in respect of a Discovery Or Open Enquiry for that tax year.

Please provide me with any evidence that you have previously notified me of either.

That's it. Very simple. Hope this helps and can get the exact wording from hard copy after 19th Aug.
Good luck.

I used to be an Edge user and they have sent me a CLSO with 2007/2008 bill included.
I've never ever received any discovery or open enquiry letter for that year (ie 2007/2008).
Can I challenge for this year beacuse it almost sounds identical as this is now invalid under a 4 year rule.
