S9A Enquiry

Hi,

Unfortunately new to this forum and the comments & time scale of dealings are making some nervous reading.

I returned to the UK as a contractor in 2011 and was recommended by a friend to use AML. initially seemed good plan, but got more nervous and this year I left and formed my own limited company. Unfortunately this week I have received a letter this weekend from HMRC informing me of an S9A enquiry. Obviously very concerned. I will be contacting AML on monday, to see what their plans are.
-NEO222, I noticed that you started this thread in 2012. Is it really still going after 2 years.
-Does anyone know if you should discuss with HMRC or advise on how to go forward from here.
-Obviously I'll wait to see what AML come back with, but just a little concerned that it is their benefit to stall as much as possible.

Any comments appreciated.

Administrator, I would appreciate pm rights as obviously more questions that I would like to ask certain individuals.

Regards
Ian

Things started in 2012 but with HMRC will continue for years to come. I am not sure but I think AML are one of the good promoter supporting their contractors. Get in touch with them.

In my personal experience when I contacted HMRC they lied to me by saying extra years are open and when asked them for a copy they stepped back from their comments. Thus I gave up and stopped interacting with them. Thus my view is better to let likes of AML deal with HMRC rather then try and do it yourself.

Section 9A Enquiry

Hi All,

I have received an enquiry from HMRC regarding the self assessment for year ending 2013. I was with AML during this tax year and now I want to get some independent advice on how best to deal with the situation. Could anyone on this forum please recommended a good tax consultant to use in this scenario?

Kind Regards
A

AM Limited 2012/13 HMRC Tax Return Compliance Checks

We are seeing a lot of recent activity by HMRC on post 2011 schemes, in particular, the AML PBT Scheme.

This applies not only to AM Limited but also a number of other providers whose current schemes are under scrutiny.

We have seen the advice being given by the providers in many cases.

If you have received a Section 9A Enquiry Notice (Compliance Check) for 2012/13, make sure that it was issued within the Enquiry Window which is normally 12 months from the date on which HMRC received your Tax Return (unless it was late).

If the Enquiry Window had closed when the letter was issued, you can request a Closure Notice and will not need to deal with the some 40 separate requests for information and documents which is extremely onerous.

As penalties could be an issue in some cases, do not ignore the letter and reply as soon as possible.

Also be aware of other actions HMRC could take and bear in mind the likelihood of a Follower Notice and APN in the New Year, where there is an open enquiry or appeal on this non- DOTAS registered scheme.

If you are thinking about settling the matter, you should act quickly to obtain the maximum advantage.

As this is a more recent, non-dotas scheme, how can they issue a FN and subsequent APN ? I would have thought this would have to go through the GAAR process first and depending on what year they were investigating could be retrospective which isn't allowed pre-2013 ?

The onerous information and documents requested is unbelievable, and will need the input of AML.

Michael, concerning Bank Statements and other private information, can they be blanked out, as there may be personal payments made from a bank account that should remain private?

It's part of wearing you down. Do you really think they need this from every single user to assess the scheme? Most of it won't even get looked at.

Michael, can you kindly explain how a non DOTAS scheme user will receive an APN based on a FN in the new year?

People caught up in the latest batch of schemes need sound advice, so some clarification would be appretiated.
