Thinking about it overnight I was wondering if there is something incriminating within the documentation that they would need to send because an SAR really shouldn't be that difficult to deal with once you know the client. It's really just here is the paperwork we've already sent being sent again and...Last edited by eek; 11 June 2026, 13:40.

You are paying him money for a tiny amount of work done, HMRC really aren't going to care......

I created a longer reply but it's basically ^^^
I would also mention that you will be passing this to the Solicitor's Regulation Authority as it would be 1 thing if MrO666 or I (neither of us are part of this) were raising frivolous SAR requests to create work but you made the request because...Last edited by eek; 10 June 2026, 17:31.

the risk is the clause in the outside contract saying they can chase you to recover the tax HMRC are telling the consultancy / agency to pay.
i suspect a combination of being on a project a long time, fear of a large tax bill, no longer being able to claim expenses (regardless of the legality...

+1 - the file meta data tells us (and the court) that you’ve created it more recently to fit your new story tells us everything action fraud will need to know.
I dont think posting much more in an open forum that is read will help....

Dan has just posted a story about Robert Venables (the QC whose opinion is at the heart of a lot of these schemes) and his tax evasion criminal case - so we may not see the other story today..

If people are willing to pay money - why wouldn’t they take it - remember the police won’t call until a crime has been reported and until last week everyone was missing something very fundamental that Dan seems to have picked up.
As I’ve said continually for the past week - wait and...

I’m not aware of any other options either - the short cut (if it’s an employer loan) is a Statutory Demand but that isn’t easy if it’s a CCA loan.
but reality is everything is in limbo until Dan publishes his report at which point I suspect W28 will have a different problem (past...

So firstly how the f*** do you know that sort of internal information
But it is why Dan’s report is so important
if the loans aren’t employer loans and therefore are subject to the CCA then the loans are illegal and not enforceable.
The great thing is that...Last edited by eek; 28 May 2026, 09:57.

You say that but i will say there is no harm in waiting a few days, seeing exactly what the report says and how people react to it.

I suspect the firms are happy to take the money until there is a problem.
for example were PhenDi to ask Trethowans to explain how the statement is dated from before he moved to that address, Trethowans would be in a difficult position given that they now knew their client was committing...Last edited by eek; 27 May 2026, 15:50.
