No reply from AM Limited yet
I emailed them at the back end of August for an update and had no response. I emailed them again a couple of weeks ago but still nothing has come back.
Just wondered if anyone else had heard anything?Comment

So I've been following this thread a bit over the last whil as I have also been subject to letters from HMRC claiming I have had the EBT and therefore underpaid tax. I spoke with AML today and was not shocked when they were pretty unresponsive in terms of questions. Apparently there is a new "newsletter" coming out by COB this week which they hope will answer a number of questions people have. I was advised that they want this to go to a tribunal and would then take things from there. I did ask what would happen if this was lost......unable to answer as this sits with people who are much higher up or have a more technical understanding.
So I contracted less than 2 years but want to really understand what this settlement opportunity is? Also, do you have to pay HMRC a lump some or can you pay it up over a number of years?Comment

That is interesting then. So has anyone seen a newsletter from AML? I havent heard a dicky bird from them. The problem is that even if it goes to a tribunal or hearing of some kind, we will still have to cough up the APN. And if they lose the tribunal, I guess we would never see any cash back!Comment

The AML stance is that they won't issue APN documents. They believe that they do not have grounds for this, apparently HMRC were hoping a win against Rangers would allow them to issue the APN. I would contact AML if you haven't heard. They're definitely in it for themselves and not really interested in the end tax payer in my opinion. If they lose, the end payer loses and we have to stump up. I am now taking outside advice as AML cannot answer or assist with my questions adequately.Comment

I have no opinion on AML and their action/inaction in the process.
I would say that everybody who used them (and all other intermediaries) should think carefully about their motives and whether there is a potential conflict arising and in particular whether there are some time limits running that are being eaten into whilst the enquiry is being "handled".
As I've said before - get professional advice.Comment

HMRC will issue APNs and worry about the niceties afterwards.Comment

If HMRC had won Rangers, it would have been slam dunk - now they are having to give it some thought.
I would treat with caution/scepticism any claim that HMRC can't issue an APN.Comment
