    I presume you were not insured against any investigation? If not time to bend over.

    Another Consulting Overseas Victim?

    I contracted through this lot between 2003-4 and since then have been out of the UK.

    Just received a Notice of Further assessment from HMRC "Special Civil Investigations" department for approx 20K for the year to April 2004

    Interest is also payable (although not detailed) from Jan 05 and a "surcharge" may also be payable.

    I tried to telephone/email Consulting Overseas but the phone goes to voicemail and the emails bounced.

    So ..... anyone know anything?

    When I signed up they said the scheme was watertight .. had been approved by their tax lawyers etc.. etc.. Obviously not!

    Will now be on the hunt for an accountant/lawyer I guess (any recommendations?) but wondered if anyone had any advice or news?

    Anything much appreciated.

Working...
