Just got an update late last night from Boox.... Sale of Boox accounting and tax services to another accountancy firm Limelight.
All accounting services will be transferred to the new firm.
There isn't much on the HMRC situation, just a that they will continue to refute the claims. But nothing on whether they are still responding to letter on behalf of 'us' their clients.
Pretty much the just of it!
Just saw this on their website blog - some info about this case. Only about 6 months too late.Comment

Would be nice to get a tangible status update rather than just the rhetoric. Even if the update is inconsequential. I know they engaged BDO as advisors, initially at least.Comment

The news that Boox is gone is not surprising, especially as they have been unresponsive for a long time.
I've been in the process of closing down my business and have not traded with them for the past year, so at least I am not affected on the day to day basis.
Some questions I do have (some that apply to myself but also for Boox clients at large):
- Will HMRC allow them to close?
- In terms of the chain of liability...my understanding is HMRC will chase the alleged MSC> The Director of Alleged MSC > the 'alleged' MSCP > the end clients...what happens if an alleged MSCP has gone?
- Do we think this is going to affect the appeals process (guessing yes!)
- If Boox had supplied the appeals letter should clients now approach HMRC to ask for any points of contact to change
- Why do we think that Limelight Accountancy would have taken on the Boox clients knowing the risk?
- Thoughts on Limelight? They have tiered pricing for various services...hmmmm?!?!?

The HMRC correspondence refers to TAAG so it is them that is on the hook as an alleged MSCP, not ‘boox’. Presumably they would not be allowed to close were that their plan given the active case. However, given it is us that have had the determinations issued against and not TAAG, maybe they could?..Comment
