HMRC Enquiry letters on Loans from EBT and other schemes

Contact details required for Bedouin/Redstone

Hi, I have received a letter from HMRC for the 2012/13 tax year and they are saying I owe them quite a large sum even though I only started with Bedouin/Redstone for the last 2 months of that tax year. Does anyone have any contact details for Bedouin/Redstone? Are they help people respond to HMRC? Sadly, I continued with Bedouin/Redstone until November 2013 so no doubt HMRC will be demanding a larger sum from me for that year too - so I need the contact details ASAP. Hopefully someone can help!

Have you checked if the letter is even addressed to you?
I am not joking.
Someone I know just received an APN... together with the APN for a totally different guy, stuffed in the same enveloppe.

So there you have it: the brain dead drones tasked with stuffind enveloppes with APNs/fines/penalties/surcharges/made up "discoveries"/any other outlandish tax demand cannot even do THAT competently.

Similar but diffferent

Hi,
Received a HMRC demand letter for a large sum for the 2012-2013 year.
In this year I used my limited company (and still do) for all income.
The letter mentioned a company called Quantum Ltd that apparently paid me £68K
I've never hard of them and never received any money from anyone in that year accept through my Companies House registered company.

I was wondering has anyone had a similar experience.
I will have to dispute it of course - how can you pay tax on money you've never seen!

I received a request for info relating to a year I only operated through a LtdCo but referencing an EBT I had left the year before. I contacted the provider who dealt with it, basically writing to HMRC telling them they were sniffing up the wrong lamp post.

What it looked like to me was your typical poor admin from the tax dementors and so I hope for your sake this is another example of such. If you don't have a tax advisor or have not used a tax scheme then I suggest getting your accountant (or indeed yourself) to send a recorded delivery letter to HMRC saying that you have never heard of Quantum Ltd, have not received a payment from them and so you consider there to be an error on HMRC's side and therefore you consider the matter closed unless they provide other evidence relating to the matter.

Before you do that though, just check your self assessment form for 2012-13. Is there an error on there? Check with whomever compiled that for you if there is.

Get bank statements ready as well.

Contact your accountant immediately and get them to contact HMRC to explain this. They will be able to prove that you have never used anything other than your Ltd .

HMRC says I have been paid by Quantum but I've never heard of them

Went on to Big Group website says closed to new registrations?

I've had a 2nd tax demand today normal payable within 30 days (1st was regarding 2011-12 tax year) which l appealed, todays is for 2012-13...

Just wondering what happens, keep on appealing them forever and racking up interest indefinately?

Ultimately the legislation proposed in its current state in Finance Bill 2017, means come 2019, all outstanding loans will be taxable. There is definitely and end game to all this come 2019. I would email Graham privately and seek advice. I understand membership will re-open again soon.
