We do though have a lot of experience with FN/APN and we have explored with Counsel the chances of going to FTT and we are advised that there is simply not any constitutional basis for that.
Also, we have clients from all over the UK and we have seen many, many demands and we detect no geographical bias.
I am only as good as my understanding of the law and practice here and the evidence I see.
I therefore ask that if you such evidence and if it can be leveraged for the good of all contractors, then I would be delighted to assist in doing that.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

ball is rolling faster
Yes I think it was mentioned once during APN/FN discussion 2 years (ish) ago, at time of representations went in, that next they would review and then offer chance for independent review of their decision after this, and then chance to appeal. Advantageous if want to buy more time if cannot afford to settle (which was/is me).
They have now written (finally) with full details of how much I have left to owe. They always had NI in scope. The amount they asked me to pay before (and balance I then reduced to zero) - I don't know how they calculated that - but they seem know it was always meant to be just a proportion, and the final bill is the balance after deducting this.
But then 10 years interest has been added to this. And it's a relatively large number, as one would expect - suspiciously large though in my view, as I did think the interest rate applied was supposed to be very low.
I'm gonna appeal, to buy more time to get the money together to settle, but also check their interest calc.
Anyone know what the interest rate is they are supposed to be charging?
It was written on one of the ancient letters somewhere, is base rate + X% I believe (it's the X i'm looking for).
Once i have this, I can get historic interest rates off interweb & do all the calcs myself in excel. (Then figure out how to challenge their calc, if it's wrong).
Thanks for everything so far guys. This is a big struggle, advice is much appreciated!

I happen to know who BB is and they are a fantastic poster with great insight. Though I disagree with them on this issue.
And even if I did agree, Webberg is a superb adviser doing a great deal to help victims. The public abuse he gets is ridiculous. People are upset at HMRC but lash out at those they can get to.
I hope Webberg continues to rise above it all.Comment

I'm sure that people are entitled to their opinion and let's be honest, most of what we claim is not yet proven in Tribunal.
What I remain interested in is any evidence of HMRC applying a geographic bias.
If you have that, let's see it.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

Ive been hit regarding the Motpelier scheme with a demand for unpaid Tax and NI for year 2003 / 2004 by HMRC over the past 4 weeks
To add to that another letter came from HMRC asking for a huge sum in interest !!!
I contacted HMRC and spoke about NICS/LA1980 and the Limitation act of 2008 but they claim that it does not apply.
It appears to be near impossible to get some solid advice out there on what to do about this.
The interest was shocking.
Ive tried to talk to WTT to get some advice but it is near impossible to get anyone to talk to.Comment
