Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
I don’t really understand why ANYONE wouod still be using CK as an accountant? Regardless of what we believe regarding our arrangements, you’re increasing your potential liability every day if this all goes against us in the end. Unless I am missing something here, can’t for the life of me...- Hareforthebear

Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
Wow really?! Have they actually taken any protective action with the county courts or is this just a bluff they are trying to bully people into? I was never sent one though had no intention of signing and NICS now time barred (or potentially not in their opinion if you believe their tribunal...- Hareforthebear

Hear all this mate. All on behalf of a state that does not give a monkeys about its taxpayers and would just as soon visit the same on those that are now currently orchestrating it should it so choose. Which I hope of course it does at some point, I’m sure all this lot have some ‘interesting’...- Hareforthebear

Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
If I understood it correctly (big if), HMRC seemed to be saying that the statutory limit for NICs etc should not apply because if it takes HMRC 7 years to determine it’s an MCSP then those are all time barred and basically ‘it’s not fair’. TAAG barrister did point out they had options to protect...- Hareforthebear

Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
I have seen probably 60% or so % of it and I am a layperson when it come to legislation, court workings, etc. So probably way off the mark but I think it’s possible they could be deemed an MSCP, as despite definitely being legitimate accountants, it’s hard to say they did not “promote the use of...- Hareforthebear

I have. Was curious as to the basis of your assertion given no-one else, HMRC included, has a scooby.- Hareforthebear

In what way are they “certainly much less MSC than boox”?- Hareforthebear

Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
This is what winds me up the most about this. It is not some contrived scheme, I engaged a REGULATED CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT to ensure I paid the right amount of tax!! It is a totally legal and common way of providing services, HMRC themselves did (still does?) engage contractors in this manner...- Hareforthebear

Apologies if it is clear from en earlier post, but what is the context behind this request from HMRC? Have you asked for a detailed calculation or something? is your appeal not just stood over pending the tribunal or have you taken some other action?- Hareforthebear

Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
That’s outrageous. To think I could’ve just binned it and moved on with my life. We are punished for trying to do the right thing, much like what started this mess, by engaging an accountant to ensure I remained compliant. Surely that works against their planned argument in some way? They’re...- Hareforthebear

Perhaps they’re sticking to their pie in the sky figures as if they were to produce calculations such as this it hardly seems like it would be considered a worthwhile economic pursuit, if that comes into their decision making in any way whatsoever. Easy when it’s not their money I guess.- Hareforthebear

My guess would be Churchill Knight. This thread got a lot quieter after they were on here advertising paid membership to their portal for ‘updates, etc.’ aimed at anyone from BOOX who has had zero updates. No-ones going to pay a grand or whatever it was they were after if the info is then just...- Hareforthebear

Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
Just to clarify, TAAG is not the ‘parent co’ of BOOX. TAAG is BOOX. BOOX was a business division of TAAG which is the legal entity contractors have engaged as accountants. The BOOX part of TAAG (customers etc) has since been sold to a different firm, but TAAG is who is involved in the...- Hareforthebear

Churchill Knight & Boox clients being investigated as Managed Service Companies
As far as I’m aware HMRC haven't once provided definitive workings on how they have come to the figures presented so how could we even be sure it’s relevant. If HMRC are successful at tribunal then presumably the tribunal would rule how this can or can’t be applied? I hardly think they could...- Hareforthebear
