Another Consulting Overseas Victim?

[DonkeyRhubarb]

I emailed one of the former directors to see what's happening.

They knew in advance it would get investigated because it was a registered tax avoidance scheme. I would expect that it's a formality that every registered scheme gets looked into, so the fact that the Revenue have opened enquiries may not mean anything in itself.

AML have provided the info that HMRC requested but haven't heard a dicky bird since.

They will post any updates on www.actinium.co.uk but at the moment there is nothing to report.

Consulting Overseas Victim...I sure am

I was also contacted by the Revenue letting me know that they intend to enquire into my tax returns (specifically income received from the Amazon partnership). After reading through the information on this site I fear I’m in a real mess and have lost sleep over not being sure what action I should take. I am keen to work with other partners of this scheme (or should I say victims) and take proactive action.

Just found this forum and am reading with interest - however, after trawling back through the thread a bit I'm confused if the discussion relates just to the Sandiford (?) scheme that CO used to run or if it relates to AML too.

I was never in the first one but was an AML member/employee for 2.5 years before the MSC market went to pieces in February 2007 (at which point I got set up by CO/AML with my own Ltd. co which they quickly had to hand over to me completely.

I've received HMRC letters giving me notice that they are inquiring into my tax affairs for 2 tax years that I was under AML and in both cases they have said it relates to earnings and dividends relating to my empllyment with Actinium. The letter says they don;t intend to ask me any specific questions at this point.

Is anyone else in this situation? HMRC will not elaborate further with me directly. I have managed to contact a former director of Actinium who says they have picked a handfull of individuals under that sceme and are 'drilling down' into their individual returns and into the AML scheme - he said Actinium are actively involved in suplying HMRC with details they request and have their tax council on board too.

Their position is that they have councils advice that the sceme was legal and legit - but he did ssay that HMRC's stated intention is to prosecute.

Anyone else in the same situation (or is anyone actually one of the poor sods who have been picked on for personal attention)? My own position is that AML committed that they'd received councils advice that it was legit and I would ultimately go after them (or their insurer) for reimbursement if that advice was wrong. I think the problem is that they may end up doing a deal with HMRC where lots of employees take the hit and AML disapere from the face of the earth with HMRC blessing.

Anyone who is specifically affected by this I'd be interested in hooking up so we can share info.

Handy.

I would like to get a group together to see if we can go after the Directors of CO and sanfield as a group if the HMRC are correct and we have been conned!!!!!!!! I already have about 30 contacts willing ....

Would you be so kind as to contact me?

I've just received a massive pile of back-mail from my old address and I'd like to talk to you as it seems we are in a similar boat.

I received a letter today from good old HMRC letting me know that they intend to enquire into my tax returns in respect of dividends received from Actinium Ltd. and fishing for information on this.

Anyone willing share info please contact me

Is this the first letter you've had from them?

I have had a letter for each of the two tax years I was with AML but they said they didn't need any information from me as they were dealing with the company directly.

What sort of information are they asking for?

I don't know why HMRC are bothering now that MSCs have been closed down.

Send me a PM if you want to discuss offline.

I spoke to the revenue about my letter and they told me they have not received any information from the company so have asked me to send in documentation (e.g partnership agreement, contracts, timesheets etc).

Is anyone else providing this information?

This is at odds with what I was told by a former director who said that AML were coooperating with HMRC.

I have been given the following email address as a point of contact for former employees. I would drop them a line before you reply to the letter to see what they have to say.

enquiries@actinium.co.uk

If you do email them, can you let us know what sort of response you get.

Thanks

Don't bother sending an email at the moment as this address is not working. I have reported it and will update the thread as soon as I get a response.

I hope this is just a coincidence.
