HMRC Enquiry for schemes through Darwin.

[Nocaster]

I have also received a Notice of Assessment for The Darwinpay Partnership for 2010-2011 under the discovery provisions of Section 29 Taxes Management Act 1970.

I was too pointed towards Contractor Helpdesk who has emailed me info.

Are there many others in the same boat who used Darwin? This thread doesn't seem to have many replies.

I'm in the same boat, they have it covering two years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. Again, it's a fairly hefty demand. HMRC have indicated that it's in relation to 'tax evasion'. I've lodged an appeal and want to know what the next steps are.

I let this post through because I thought it was posting an already mentioned scheme's helpdesk.

This appears not to be the case and so I have amended the URL to show people what the website is and to remove the link - it looks like a straight advertisement.

Just thought I'd let you know.

(Oh, and a note to JMGB - replace that URL at your peril...)

Your website shows that you're based in the Isle of Man - is this a case of poacher turned game keeper?

Update

I had a letter from HMRC back in November 2012 advising of investigation under Code of Practice 8 (Re Tax Avoidance Scheme with Darwin Partnership) - related to my 2010/11 tax return.

I did not contact the HMRC, and contacted Darwin and they referred me to Contractor Help Desk and they forwarded my letter to Cobham Murphy.

No further contacts from HMRC since. No request for any payments either.

Hi, any further correspondence? Was it Hamilton Trust you were with via Darwin. I have heard nothing from the trustees of that trust having contacted them.

poacher and gamekeeper !!

w ww.chslimited.co.uk appears to be in same Bldg as Darwin/Sanzar or should I say the re-incarnation thereof.

In that is it does appear to be their help desk.

This will also effect those who used Darwin

Template letter for responding to HMRC consultation

NTRT have prepared a template letter for people to respond to the consultation. Please alter it in your own words.

Some people will say it won't count if everyone sends similar letters but HMRC will have to report to the Minister how many responses they got. So every letter does count.

Help Needed

It's hard to know if the majority of people who are reading this thread are affected or not, regardless of if you are or are not affected your support in this matter is urgently needed.

What is being proposed in the consultancy document gives HMRC powers that allow them to judge people "guilty until proven innocent" and force money to be paid without any court hearing. Could you imagine if you suddenly got a bill for more money than you could possibly afford, that you would be forced to sell your family home or go bankrupt? If you have children can you imagine how this will affect them, when they have done nothing wrong?

If you can empathise, please please take just 5 mins to help us (final date to respond is the 24th of Feb), we need as many people to object to what is being proposed as possible - the last document (Raising the stakes on Tax Avoidance) only 31 people responded (most of those professional bodies), we need many many more.

The letter NTRT guys have put together can be used a template (or even just sign it and send it in)
