HMRC enquiries for Schemes through ASMG / White Collar

[CDJ]

Hi all

Received the brown envelope from the HMRC today, in New Zealand now, so lost a couple of weeks in the post. Having read through the threads, looks like no news since people sent appeal letters. Has anything progressed on this issue at all?

I will be contacting White Collar regardless to understand their position.

Thanks.

Hi W Summer

White Collar can help you with your appeal. Also, if you are hard pressed time-wise because of the distance, give HMRC a call (no seriously - I can give you the relevant numbers via PM if you need). In my dealings with the case officer she was very understanding and professional (for me, my assessment notice was lost in the mail and they put a note on my file to acknowledge my intention to appeal, even though the actual letter may well be received by HMRC outside the 30 day window).

Personally, I have not received anything further regarding my case since the appeal was accepted, but I expect this to change through 2014.

Lastly, we do have a group and would encourage you to join. If you want to request PM rights from the CUK admin team and PM Turnover, he can provide instructions from there (although please be patient).

Questions about the letter of appeal

Hello guys, I was also a contractor and I am about to join the party I received a phone call from the HMRC Debt Collection Department regarding the tax year 2008-2009 and Kirium. As I moved since my last known address, I didn’t receive the original letters and I suspect they have applied a surcharge. I really would like to join the group and discuss further.

Also, I have a basic question about the letter of appeal everyone is talking about. More precisely, I would like to know where does it lead to? Is this appeal heard in a tribunal? In which case what are the costs involved?

Or is this letter of appeal just a way for the HMRC to review the case before giving their final answer and proceed with getting the original amount? In which case are there any extra costs involved?

Finally, I would like to know if this letter of appeal stops the surcharge process.

Thanks for your help.

XContractor - First and Foremost, you need to sort out the current issue, which is to negotiate with HMRC and get your appeal to the judgement accepted.. otherwise this is a legal debt that you must pay (and HMRC have been very aggressive of late - even pushing people into bankruptcy)..

Once this is done however, your next step is to wait for HMRCs next move. Will the case go to Tribunal - likely, but not certain.

My advice - sort your appeal (as an aside, get yourself a HMRC Gateway account if you haven't already, it means you can update your address and see your accounts online); join our support group and make sure you have all your documents (original tax returns, P11Ds, trustee contracts; trustee emails/comms etc) and keep them handy

White Collars sent the appeal letter on behalf of me just before Xmas but I can still see the 09-10 demand under my Account in HMRC Portal. Is there anyone else that has asked White Collars to sent the appeal letter and?.. if yes... has the demand been removed from your account?

Thanks

Hi Zarkana

This isn't uncommon (it takes HMRC more than a few weeks to process the appeal, but provided it was in on time there is no dramas)..

I checked mine the other day and had the same, but made a quick call to HMRC and they confirmed it had been received (there's a phone number and case number on your assessment)
