Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies

[eek]

My guess would be Churchill Knight. This thread got a lot quieter after they were on here advertising paid membership to their portal for ‘updates, etc.’ aimed at anyone from BOOX who has had zero updates.

No-ones going to pay a grand or whatever it was they were after if the info is then just spread on here are they.

Well then I suspect your guess is wrong Greg managed to extract himself from the investigation because it was clear to even HMRC that he wasn't a one man consultancy.

As for paying Churchill Knight for their advice . If you going to spend money get proper advice from a specialist firm...

It’s probably a mixture of protecting “proprietary” information (i.e., profit) and protecting the case itself. HMRC do read these pages.

I don't know if it's true or not but I heard that HMRC had quoted posts on CUK from scheme users in a High Court case several years ago.

Oh yes, it's true. I would have liked to have heard what the judge made of the userids.

Hi all,

Has anyone recently received a 'variation of Section 8 Notice Decision' letter? I received one but checked against original determination and there is no variance to value...

Has anything else changed? Ie reasoning for the decision that they’ve made?

It's not only HMRC. I was quoted in The Times from a Phil Manley thread.

No nothing that I can see. Oddly, the day after I then received the standstill agreement letter

[phonic22]

Hi all,

Maybe this has been covered already and I have missed it but does 'payment on account' mean the whole amount HMRC are chasing or can it be any value to simply stop any further interest accrual?

Also, having just receive the 'stand still letter' has anyone taken legal advice or professional advice as to which way to respond to this?

Thanks in advance!
