CLSO - DEADLINE 30th JUNE

[webberg]

webberg, thanks again for the info.

A number of us have registered an interest by email response, letter and/or phone call to the number on the CLSO letter. None of these have involved providing figures or filling in the form.

Are you saying this is not enough, that we should provide figures and submit this form particularly, or is it enough to have spoken/emailed/mailed them?

As noted, HMRC are consistent in their inconsistency.

Supply what is asked for via your chosen method.

Deadline approaching

Called HMRC about a month ago to ask for details on how to pay over 2 years.
Was told the person dealing with my case is away for a week and I will be sent further information in the post.
2 weeks later, nothing received.
Sent them a letter by recorded delivery last week asking for the further information and nothing received yet with the deadline a few days away.
The CLSO clearly states not to sign and return the documents if I want to arrange a payment plan. I've engaged with them and made an effort but because of their incompetence I haven't been able to settle.

I will be joining Big Group.

EBT vs Self Employed

Re posting question:

I wrote to Monty and they informed me that this doesn't apply as it's for those on EBT as opposed to me who was self employed...is this correct?

Thanks again
Also, I have not received an APN for this.

What?

There is a difference between a partnership scheme (using and EBT) and a corporate scheme (using an EBT). That difference extends to commercial arrangements and tax analysis but I suspect that HMRC is not sufficiently advanced in the latter to allow a distinction in the CLSO.

I stand to be corrected obviously but I think the CLSO is looking at a much simpler question, i.e. have you received a loan that might be deemed as income.

The source of the loan funds is largely irrelevant as are the hands it has passed through. Money is fungible after all.

My suggestion is that you ask Montpelier - URGENTLY - for more detail.

Hey guys,

What happens in the situation when the HRMC have not raised an investigation letter for one of the years in question?

Does sending in an CLSO allow them to open an investigation for the missing years?

I am aware that not everyone got letters for the years in question, some got it for all years, some had years missed. So if you did not get a letter for 09 and send in a CLSO, what happens?

1. No tax can be charged if the time limits have been missed
2. NO
3. HMRC will certainly attempt to include the closed year. Mention it in your covering note and check the calculations VERY CAREFULLY

Already answered time and time again on these forums... Anyway:

* If year 09 is not open, it's TOO LATE for HMRC to open in
* It does not mean that they will not TRY and include it in the SO calculations. If they do, it will be up to you to challenge them on why they think they can do so.

Thanks for the replies guys.

One last question in relation to the CLSO, i'm going away mid August till end of September, and will not be in the country.

What is the best way to deal with the correspondence and the settlement that the HRMC will send? You have to agree by 30th of September right?

Cheers

Or ask someone you trust to open HMRC letters, scan and send. You can always call them and email them.
