I would be surprised if you don't easily achieve that given our options. I am expecting you to get a 540k war chest!- foolishboy

I think the more you engage him in his flawed one dimensional argument the more he will rant. Best to ignore imo.- foolishboy

I think you are being somewhat harsh in your views and comments, but you are entitled to your own opinion. I received the letter too from Montpelier and found it somewhat ironic that here we are again discussing IR35 as the main issue and ways to resolve it. Everything changes and nothing...- foolishboy

Thanks for the prompt response Santa. Yes they have confirmed that they did not receive a letter either for that year. Is there a prescribed format for enquiry notes - does it have to mention Section 9a TMA 1970 etc does anyone know?- foolishboy

No Enquiry Letter No Enquiry Letter Looking back through my files today I noticed that HMRC have sent me enquiry letters for every year but 1. They have however used this year as part of their overall claim. Can someone advise me as to what to do? Should I contact HMRC and ask for them to...- foolishboy

Well thats the other confusing part. The new agency, who appear to be the main agency for the end client, are telling me that current agency are not on the PSL and that they are not sure how I have even been able to use them. Its seems complex and I dont trust the info either of these agents are...- foolishboy

Release from restrictive covenant within a contract
Thanks for the response. Current agency are not on a fixed margin, but I know they are on 12% of gross. Current agency cannot put me forward for the new role as they know nothing about it and your thought process is the same as mine - its unenforceable imo. The real pain is the new agency...- foolishboy

All their dirty linen will eventually be washed in public. Assuming someone hasnt already given the order to conceal the evidence at all costs. After all this is the UK government and its civil servants we are talking about. Shame that the ECHR wont allow the death penalty for treason...- foolishboy

My soundbite response would be, "what I did was legal and fully disclosed. In fact my attitude was no different to Amazon, Google, Vodafone, etc corporate tax policy to mitigate their tax liability. How much has the Exchequer lost from them? Do you propose retrospective corporate taxation of...- foolishboy

Thanks for the update DR, I understand the points the Minister makes in his letter but what I find chilling is Gaukes resolve, which seems even stronger than ever. He defended his approach in 2008 without batting an eyelid and sees no inconsistency. To me it sounded personal, he thinks we are...- foolishboy
