Originally posted by Iliketax View PostThe maximum your could get tax relief on would be 3x £40,000 plus £10,000.

So on £130k I guess the relief would be 45% if one falls into the highest tax rate?
I think the numbers are getting too big for me anyway but it's interesting to see how much one might save by making a £130k pension contribution in 2019.Comment

Too late?
Phil
Appreciate your advice here. I was in the IoM scheme, received APNs last year, and paid them - I read the APNs as begin unavoidable, and it was a case of pay up now or face fines/interest/penalties - and so I paid them. I was unaware they could be opposed (or that there were any grounds to oppose them), and was also unaware until last week that the Limitation Act might apply to the NIC element of the APNs. Until the APNs were paid, I had always opposed payment of the tax and NI.
Is it too late to ask for a refund of the NIC payments, given they were out-of-time? I think unfortunately I know the answer but would appreciate an expert's advice.
Thanks.Comment

Originally posted by starstruck View PostGraham, it's utterly exhausting discussing anything with you. You speak in riddles and constantly change your story. It's clear to me you are just here to sell Big Group. Anything other than that you dismiss; fair enough you believe in your resolution strategy - but I am far from convinced. I thought WTT could still arrange settlement for me, but I'll be going elsewhere.
I'm in the unfortunate position of seeing several members of my direct reports caught up in this, one will lose her home and job (HMRC insolvency post-APNs). Two are off sick and a final one has arranged CLSO2 (through WTT). We have a few more we suspect may be in trouble and we are considering supporting them with expertise internally.
Personally, I find the level of ingratitude towards people who are trying to give advice quite staggering. We are all in a situation born out of a lack of due-diligence of finding ourselves in an uncomfortable position. Graham, ILikeTax etc. are telling you things you find uncomfortable so I would suggest that you engage an accountant and a Lawyer and ask their opinion. 'You pays your money - you takes your choice' - and if you don't like what they say, you can pay another accountant and another lawyer until you get the answer you like.Comment

Liquidation
A question for the experts on here if I may.
If your previous employer has filed for Members Voluntary Liquidation but before that has completed HMRC have made a claim on the Company - what status is that Company in regarding the Loan Charge - do HMRC consider it still active and liable or not?
ThanksComment

I don't do insolvency stuff, but if the liquidator couldn't pay HMRC then the MVL would become a CVL. In that case, the directors might get into a bit of trouble with the statutory declaration that they made (that the company will be able to pay all its debts within a year) you would want to get very clear legal advice (not tax advice and not stuff written on a forum) before signing the statutory declaration and listing the assets/liabilities. Why take legal advice? Because "a bit of trouble" could mean a prison sentence or fine.Comment

Thanks for that I can see in the Liquidators statement that £26K was allowed for HMRC in the solvency declaration but HMRC have asked for £33M yes million - it is being disputed......Comment
