Did you have any other enquiries, apart from the loan cleanse scheme? Surely that could only happen if you used another scheme in the same year?
You'd think that them closing the enquiries should take the loan charge off the table but that's a question for a tax advisor.

Overdrawn Capital Account Scheme (Aston Mae / Glen Mae / Procorre)

So i have just received a letter from HMRC Counter avoidance ASP Teams stating that their queries in the use of a loan cleanse scheme “Procorre” are now complete and that they are taking no further action.
They do then go on to say that this does not mean any other enquiry in to your tax returns for avoidance use are over or negate the potential loan charge position. Therefore, other enquiries in to anything other than a Loan Cleanse arrangement remain open.
Not sure what to make of this? Anyone else received something similar?Leave a comment:

I'm pretty close to reaching a settlement agreement with HMRC - I'm hoping the final agreed monthly figure will be affordable but will definitely take me well past my pension age. Before I commit to this, does anyone genuinely believe there is a strong legal basis to say no to HMRC and fight them in the tribunals - or are we genuinely at the stage (and probably have been for quite some time) where I should just accept they've got me over a barrel and hope for as kind a repayment agreement as possible?
The only fight which may be worth having is to ask HMRC to remove late payment fees, which are probably quite substantial, I managed this through very good tax specialists.

You have stated you are pretty close to reaching a settlement, have HMRC responded to you? I haven't heard of anyone receiving feedback since submitting settlement figures in the last 8 weeks.Leave a comment:

Ah there it is again the catchall QC approved horses*** trapped many a contractor back in the day myself including. We also know the name often quoted as giving QC approval. The words and the person who spoke them were indeed worth absolutely nothing.Leave a comment:
