I was with TRM and have seen a template posted on here that was advised by Tax Talk UK. I do not know of any other template to be honest and was looking to use the wording posted from Tax Talk UK for the basis of my appeal...
TRM Appeal
TRM Appeal
Vthomsen in answer to your question to shevlane (I am in the same TRM 2008/2009 boat). I am inclined to use the text below:
At the moment this seems for my circumstances the best way forward. The other letters posted seem to be particular to other companies and as has...

TRM/Raingold
Thanks for sharing. This sounds better than the one TaxTalkUK have provided. Bit more weight to it.
As ads1980 said in their post given the detail in the letter they posted it might not be suitable for all and I certainly couldn't say for sure. We are all have...
Thanks for sharing the wording of the letter. Much like Shevlane I was dismayed at the response of TaxTalkUK. Very uninterested and made more disconcerting as they are apppointed by Raingold (ex TRM) to deal with ex TRM staff.
Of course this post is related to all the companies at this time...
A few of the letters here (certainly mine) are a notice of assessment from 2008/2009 unprompted and not in response to any request for information.
I believe as in your case some people have received requests for information; certainly based on others comments on this post. I am not sure if...
Based on the information from shevlane I have left a VM with Mark Boardman asking about the free template letter.
As DonkeyRhubarb pointed out a uniform letter can only help and show we are united and have advice/spoken to a tax advisor.
Although as people have said Raingold represent TRM I...
I spoke to Mark yesterday and was a little dismayed at the support (not his fault) in that they weren't really dealing with the problem but more offering assistance for a fee. I was hoping (albeit naively) that this support (with Raingold being the new TRM) would be offered without charge as we...
The chap I spoke to said appealing is just a matter of writing a letter stating the reasons for the appeal and ensuring you state how much of the additional amount you are appealing against. For me (as I imagine most people) is that it was a loan not a taxable income so I am appealing against...
Just spoke to a company called TaxTalkUK who are dealing with the enquiries on behalf of RainGold. If I wish to be represented I can use them and agree a fee.
I have P45 from TRM, a Loan Agreement and a letter asking for the loan to be repaid. I guess I can appeal because I can prove it was a...
Just contacted Raingold and now wait to see what I hear back. Thanks Skyrocket for the info. Its interesting that Raingold are based in the UK. I am reasonably happy to appeal but without advice I am not sure how to or on what basis (other than me not wanting to pay the bill)...
Donkeyrhubarb, Skyrocket et al,
Thanks for the replies particularly the name of the new company. I will contact them tomorrow.
I will share anything new on this thread. I am currently speaking to my accountant as well to seek advice.
Letter from HMRC
Letter from HMRC
I enclose a notice of assessment to Income Tax for the Tax Year 2008/09. I have made this assessment under the discovery provisions of Section 29 Taxes Management Act 1970, in order to protect HMRC's position and ensure that tax due for 2008/09 is not lost...
Thanks DonkeyRhubarb. Sounds like they are fishing still. Mind you the 30 day notice period before surcharges apply is a great way to get the ball rolling in their favour...
Yeah it just feels like the whole parking ticket. Pay in 30 days or there will be more you owe. But at the same time I'm nervous about rattling any cages and them end up trying to charge me more if they request information.
"In the assessment I have estimated the additional taxable income...
