Option B) Outside to inside - Lovely lovely. Pretty easy slam dunk historic cases. May even pay up with a letter. At em boys....
Option C) Outside to no determination - Interesting. They've done this purely to avoid the hassle of making a determination. Lets go ask them about working practices. If they are inside then we've got a nice tasty option B. Bit more work but the client says WP are inside.
I don't see why you think HMRC will pick the lowest risk vs return option when there are two sitting ducks there. The 'no determination' you keep banging on about being one of them. Remeber the OP does say 'hey probably know that working practices can be key to winning cases and will seek the client’s version of the truth on them' which has nothing to do with determination or lack thereof.
