HMRC enquiries for Schemes through ASMG / White Collar

[administrator]

ContractorUK has received a solicitor's letter on behalf of White Collar Financial Limited and would like to clarify some details.

This thread does not state or imply that White Collar Financial Limited run, or have ever run, an Employment Benefit Trust (EBT.) This forum was set up so that individuals who have received letters from HMR&C querying their tax returns could discuss their options. Presence of company names in this or other threads on this forum are not an implication that these companies run, or have ever run, an EBT scheme.

Having spoken to several of the posters on the forum who used ASMG we are aware that some contracts who used the services of ASMG went on to use the services of White Collar Consulting.

The fact that some people moved from ASMG to White Collar Consulting is in no way a connection to show that the two companies were linked in any way.

White Collar Consulting Limited is a dissolved company but we would like to point out that White Collar Financial Limited (Company Number 07109682) is a solvent, actively trading company at the time of writing this post.

HMRC enquiries for Schemes through ASMG / White Collar

Hi All,

I've had the dubious honour of receiving my lovely brown envelope yesterday for 2008/09.

I've noticed in the long thread a few people affected that have been with ASMG & White Collar (though disconcertingly less numbers than other companies)...

Add me to that list. I would also welcome being in touch with others and perhaps we could exchange some of our own experiences and issues.

I have also indicated that I will be attending the conference hosted by Michael Perry, however I would appreciate being given PM permission by the Mods so I could formalise my intentions.

Hi HAM, just a note to point out that White Collar has NEVER run any scheme that has 'E*Ts' anywhere associated, No Sirree.

Never.

Not At All.

Wouldn't dream of making that association.

Just thought I'd point this out and ask you all NOT to use that naughty (and incorrect) reference.

Ta.

PS.

And while I'm at it we've also been told by some very nice men that there is NO association between ASMG and White Collar Consulting Ltd (since dissolved).

Just to clear up that little misunderstanding...

Hi Cojak,

I read the first few pages of that thread, but it was a waste of time. I can see that you're linking to page 4 for a very good reason.

Thanks for posting. Reading it now.

Regards,
HAM

Oh, that's just depressing to read....

ASMG 2005/06 and 06/07 COP8 enquiries, nothing heard for almost 5 years now. No reply was requested, so I have not replied to HMRC.

Good news, then really! Sorry for you to have had to go through it though - not sure what a COP8 is, but it certainly sounds bad....

HMRC Code Of Practice 8

Good news, then really! Sorry for you to have had to go through it though - not sure what a COP8 is, but it certainly sounds bad....

This Code of Practice explains how the Fraud and Avoidance section of the Specialist Investigations directorate of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) carry out investigations. It applies to all investigations where the Civil Investigation of Fraud procedures (Code of Practice 9) are not used.

COP8 = HMRC investigations where they do not suspect tax fraud
COP9 = HMRC investigations where they do suspect tax fraud

Yep I have got a letter as well for 2008/09 having been with white collar so waiting to see what happens next. Will send a letter of appeal which I found on the Edge EBT thread and look to attend the conference mentioned here. Finding it difficult to understand how the retrospective charging can be made on something that was not illegal
