    "HMRC will stand by the result given"

    "HMRC will stand by the result given unless a compliance check finds the information provided isn’t
    accurate."


    Or not as the case may be..... Our friends at the revenue, clearly spooked by the amount of outside determinations being returned have been briefing NHS Finance Managers saying that they won't stand by the decision.

    Isn't that logical, though - if you lie to cheat the tests, then you can hardly expect HMRC to say "yep, that's good enough for us"!

    Which means that they still need to do an investigation for any outside determination that they want to challenge because they won't know whether the answers were accurate or not. Conversely, that might mean that they won't stand by an inside assessment either
    First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. But Gandhi never had to deal with HMRC

      I said before and I'll say it again - if a job role in one department is inside, they'll go after all those in the same role in other departments who claim to be outside.

        I think that's a case of HMRC saying "we think you are lying when filling in the form"...
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          They have apparently been briefing that they won't stand behind the result, even if answers are genuine.

            I'd imagine they'll adopt a rule of thumb; if 80% of a certain role are declaring inside, they'll see the <20% as easy prey.

              you couldn't make it up, so what was the goal of the tool in the first place?

              but saying that I never trust HMRC so no surprises

                The phrase "unless a compliance check finds the information provided isn’t accurate" has always given them a get out unfortunately.

                  I'll say it again - how will HMRC know what role is being performed? There is no field on the data feed to HMRC for that piece of information.

                    Yet.
