Things about to get very serious and much more real? / Felicitas Letters

Why would HMRC care? The fact that the "loans" might be legally enforceable wouldn't matter one iota to them. After all, they already treat them as loans for the purposes of IHT, even though primarily they class them as disguised remuneration and liable to income tax.

Exactly. Hector couldn't care less.

If as "they" say in their email this case was and is a reflection of ours then surely their so called win would have had the HMRC all over it like a rash!

I find it unbelievable that a judge in the County Court at Newcastle's Civil and Family Courts and Tribunals Centre is au fait with the technicalities of tax avoidance schemes. What an unbelievable coincidence!

The other thing I don't get is the fact they referred to a particular scheme that I never used. Each scheme had its own T&C's, supporting artefacts etc so why would one alleged win in court make a difference to someone who's never used the scheme in question?

Love how they add the comment "You are not the person they won the court case against" I suspect I may already know this. Very thoughtful of them.

Oh and my final deadline is now April after the last final one was March and before that....

Spotted that too, to cover their ass from last times cockup.....

I love how they have come up with arbitrary interest ... What the feck is all that about. I'm sure the last time I took out a loan I knew the T&C's upfront along with the repayment term and interest charged on the amount I'd borrowed.

I have emailed Newcastle County Court but I can't seem to find a direct number. I have a contact number for crown court. Let's see what they come back with.

I presume you tried this numer 0191 201 2000 ?
