A question about recovery of money

[WTFH]

Humm
There is no way as a common man can challenge this to HMRC?
local MPs are mostly useless so no point in talking to them.
HMRC wont buzz on their stand.
The internet on the original sum is almost 50%.

So the moral of the story is - do the scam by the books. HMRC wont do that tang to you.. Is that what looks like it.

Sorry to hear about this.
Some local MPs are better than others, I know of a couple of MPs who worked with their constituents and wrote to HMRC, but the responses from HMRC were generic and unhelpful (at best)

If Labour overturn the loan charge I wonder what would happen to those that have settled if they just stopped paying TTP payments.

In this podcast Dan Neidle explains that tax avoidance cowboys have no consequences by promoting these schemes, he proposes replacing the rules of cricket with the laws of criminality.

Exactly what cojak says.

Forget going after scheme operators. Forget fighting HMRC.

Accept that you'll have to pay. Arrange a payment plan* (time to pay) if you need to. Move on with your life.

* there's usually no problem getting HMRC to agree to a few years to pay but they have been known to allow over 10 years

I don't but there have been one or two mentioned on these forums. Maybe someone else can recommend one.

I know that https://www.gilberttax.co.uk have helped a few on here. They are not trying to sell a "solution" or have a"scheme", but will go through the figures and work with you and HMRC to get a conclusion and make sure you are not ripped off.

Also try these people:

DTE Group, because my accountant recommended them. It looks like they're now part of DJH (Bury).

I'm sure there are plenty of other tax specialists out there, I only have experience of this company and they did a good job.
