Just playing a longer game? Or sheer incompetence WRT sticking to a time frame that caught earlier years? Either is plausible. Unfortunately, for those now in the crossfire, it's largely academic at the moment.
And I don't buy the incompetence as by only starting a case against just 2 firms HMRC have lost the opportunity to recover a significant £x0ms+ from other firms.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Initial appeal letters - Now (deadline is approaching)
2024/5 - First Tribunal
2025/7 - Upper Tribunal
2027/9 - appeal court.
Now the first tribunal may be quicker and that would shorten the other deadlines but HMRC don't usually rush these things (longer delays = more pressure resulting in people paying).merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Based on CBS (and this could well be worse as waiting times have worsened since then).

2027/9 - appeal court.
Now the first tribunal may be quicker and that would shorten the other deadlines but HMRC don't usually rush these things (longer delays = more pressure resulting in people paying).
Then if this is not favourable there is the option of a "review" which should be concluded within 45 days:
https://www.gov.uk/tax-appeals/revie...nalty-decision
"Reviews usually take 45 days, but HMRC will contact you if it will take longer."
Then there's the dreaded tribunals...
Hopefully at least some of us can get out via the initial appeal and review channels. Let's see.
