Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies

[jagged edge]

I've tried searching and reading through all of the pages but may have missed a previous post. I submitted my signed DS01 to Churchill Knight in January 2018 and stopped paying them at that point. They stated it takes 9 months to close down and that I just had to wait.
In the end I didn't close down the company but transferred away from Churchill Knight as at 31/01/2018 and used Free Agent.

HMRC have sent letters through for all tax years up to 19/20. Am I right in thinking I should only be liable for the period that I used the company? I can't get hold of anyone at Churchill Knight and no idea if its possible to contact the team at HMRC

I have no luck getting response from Boox or DK to help me submit my appeal. I am running out of time and in case i get no response i will have to submit appeal myself. I have an appeal letter ready but i am struggling to figure out a good way to organise attachments (documents, proofs etc.) in this letter or how to explain which document is suppose to prove what. If anyone can give me any advise i would very much appreciate it.

You don't need to submit evidence at this stage, and indeed it's not particularly advisable to do so. Keep it short and sweet.

You need to say you appeal, you want the charges stood over pending outcome and briefly state your grounds for appeal. You do not need to explain your grounds in much detail, just a few bullet points will do.

It's the third rumour (or second repeat of the same story) I've heard that more letters are on the way but the first time someone has put their name to it.

Eek that article doesn't mention 'more letters' .... does it?

I wouldn’t spend too much time on this unless you have a case-killer. It’ll end up being filed away and you’ll end up having to send the info (plus a whole lot more) again

just get the appeal in!! (You can add additional “grounds for appeal” later in any case)

Nope firm of accountants trying to score points / customers I think

Looks like she's a tax consultant working through a PSC.

Regarding rumours about additional targets/MSCPs, I don't see anything in the article about that, but it's nevertheless inevitable...

Presumably, another bunch of ambulance chasers?

“I can tell you that the telling differences between an MSCP and an accountant are mainly that an MSCP will manage the funds being paid to the worker/director’s company by an agency or client”.

Brilliant. Definitely not an MSCP in relation to my company then.

I would engage this person for help if I had any confidence they had a clue what they’re on about.
