    Hi Phil - I PM'd you.

    Sympathy for the Devil

    Too late? Too late? Phil Appreciate your advice here. I was in the IoM scheme, received APNs last year, and paid them - I read the APNs as begin unavoidable, and it was a case of pay up now or face fines/interest/penalties - and so I paid them. I was unaware they could be opposed (or that...

    For those of you who have yet to pay your APNs / agree to a Corrective Action.... For those of you who have yet to pay your APNs / agree to a Corrective Action.... Do NOT pay the National Insurance Contribution part of any APN without reading the above posts first. Get advice. HMRC are very...

    Would it make any difference that I paid the APNs? It didn't appear there was any choice - one HMRC letter says my papers "had been referred to HMRC to settle the appeals" - and part of the deal (as far as I was aware at the time) was that I had to withdraw my appeal. It's that word - "settle" -...

    The tax affair that keeps on giving The tax affair that keeps on giving FFS, I honestly thought I was at the end of this... My APNs arrived at the end of 2016, and my liability stemmed from two tax years ending in Apr 2007. I notice now that some of the APNs relate to Class 4 NICs (no...

    I was warned that if I did send payment close to the deadline, there was a chance (HMRC speak for near certainty) that there would be a delay in telling other relevant HMRC departments, and fines and interest might be incorrectly applied. These can of course be reversed if added in error. AFAIK...

    Surprisingly, given HMRCs utterly deserved pisspoor reputation for not answering the phone, whenever I've rung the numbers on the APN/STAR Notices I've got through to someone with 30 seconds who does seem to know what they are talking about. Perhaps I've been lucky. I can only assume those...

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/certificate-of-tax-deposit-scheme When paying by CTD you need to write to the CTD team with details of the tax liability to be paid, and how much to pay from the CTD. They will, eventually, send you a new CTD for the balance left after payment. Best to write to the...

    Indeed, the strange parallel universe of HMRC and various time-travelling Finance Bills. :cretin:

    STAR

    I received a HMRC STAR letter this morning from "Nick Driver". Utterly confusing. The letter mentions the Corrective Action and Follower Notice letters many received recently, but appears to be unconnected to them other than (if I understand correctly) if you have taken Corrective Action, STAR...

    Thanks matey. I'll see if I'm still in MP's good books and if they'll send me a LoR - I refused to pay the invoice they sent out last year, so perhaps that's the end of it... And on a side note, I wouldn't mind knowing how the TAA argument is progressing, would be nice to hear if HMRC are on...

    Should I pay? Should I pay? I'm in the fortunate position of being able to pay HMRC, having been with Montpelier for a relatively short time and having put some money aside in a CTD when HMRC started their time machine all those years back. With the arrival of the APNs, I'm on the verge of...

    Your posts are a life saver Donkey, please keep posting. The reason I've visited (and perhaps the other 600 recent views) are thanks to letters from the Rev asking for cash. Now rereading the start of this thread to see if there are any Discovery gaps I can slip through. Thanks again for your...

    No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

    Guess that's for the deluxe APN response on heavier paper.

    No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

    Likewise I received a letter for APN costs, but it reads more like a rather ambiguous request than a demand - either way, to date MP have been pursuing HMRC at no cost to its clients, as promised in various past missives, and they certainly gave no notice that any of their actions would cost me...
