My intention is to push back on the grounds HMRC inform me the tax years concerned are not open. If they prove otherwise, I'm inclined to pay on the grounds it's an amount of money that won't detroy me and I need the space in my head back that they are occupying.

HMRC Disguised renumeration - new approach by HMRC ("no requirement to operate PAYE")
I wonder if anyone else has received recent contact from HMRC similar to the attached please? I interpret this to say that because the company I worked through isn't in the UK they're deciding to come at me for the tax due.

Looks like a typical boiler plate letter relating to an off shore tax avoidance scheme to me. I think you'll need to pay. I don't think there's any chance of you not paying the tax on what you earned. Obviously, others may have a different answer.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

There seems to have been a general mood change since I last looked at this about 4 years ago. Back then there was quite a bit of fight over such a proposal yet now it seems the vibe is that you'll need to pay. I guess that may be because of precedence set in recent court cases.Comment

You've got nothing to lose by challenging the decision on the basis that the years aren't open.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Whilst there is no harm in trying to challenge HMRC that the year is not open, as per the powers HMRC now have for offshore income, they don’t necessarily need to have an open year and can go back 12 years for an assessment now. I would personally seek some professional advise however. I am assuming you were paid into a UK account? Did you submit SATR those years and didn’t declare the payments as income? If so, you may have a reasonable challenge to say this was presented to HMRC and it would not have been unreasonable for them to enquire about the tax and income at the time, therefore their limit is reduced to 6years for an assessment.Comment

Got to say I would seek advice and challenge based on the advice an expert gives you. There are probably a choice of attacks so you need advice as to what may work bestmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Unless HMRC have erred, I have to say it doesn't look good seeing as how you can't appeal. All you can do is make "representations" for what that's worth.
Presumably a discovery assessment is being warmed up as we speak, which should be subject to appealLast edited by Chevalier; 9 November 2022, 08:19.Comment
