HMRC enquiries for Schemes through ASMG / White Collar

[bluemonkey71]

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

I've been advised not to use that letter but to use the one sent from WC. Speak to Patrick. PM me if you want his direct line.

I’ve also been with ASMG and White Collars for 5 years (I am still with White Collars) and I got a letter from HRMC for 2008/09.
Talked to Patrick and Kaite this morning and they will send me a letter to reply to HMRC.
When I asked them why this is happening (the scheme is supposed to be legal and approved by IR) and if HMRC will take us to the court they both assured me that the scheme is legal and HRMC can’t take us to the court. They also told me that if they do so they will act on behalf of us!

Me too. Have you been sent anything in writing to confirm this?

Likewise, I've also been with then for 5 years and have been reassured in the same manner, here's hoping....

I had my letter through yesterday. I will be calling White Collar tomorrow Morning to see what they have to say.

I am sure they will try to reassure me and tell me not to worry and that they will represent us if it goes to court but I fear these may be empty promises just to stop existing clients from jumping ship

[walterscott]

That's my big concern. Be interested in what they say around this.

Yes, that is my concern also, they were adament that they would provide support for anyone who was with them at the time in question irrespective of your current status. I expect we won't really know until the point in time that it is required, if it is required.

Hi all,

I am in that same boat, got the dreaded 08/09 letter, but lost 14 days due to snail mail to Australia.

Does any one have a copy of the WC letter so I can meet the 30 days Appeal time line?

I also need a phone number for White Collar that works!

Any and all help will be much appreciated.
