Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms
Spot on. I think you always have to ask yourself what someone’s motive is or might be.- pimpernell

Sure. I’m surprised at myself that I’m still interested. I can’t ever see HMRC legislating against themselves but I’m sure your lawyer would love to take your fees. I always thought lawyers (presumably a tax lawyer) might be useful to understand your position with respect to an arrangement and...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms Yeah. Brown owl. Except with me the games over. They told me not to be a naughty boy anymore, took my money, and then walked away, never to be seen again. I’m glad because as well as being adept at chess they were scary f@@kers with a keen...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms Yes I got independent advice. I asked my Mum. She didn’t tell me what I wanted hear, so I asked my brother. He said he was going down the pub and please don’t bother me with stupid questions. I was running out of options because i don’t have...- pimpernell

No. But you’ve got a point. It did say something about ‘self destruct 30 seconds after you sign it and pay’; but I keep getting flashbacks to 1960s American tv programmes anyway, so I ignored it.- pimpernell

If I want to immerse myself in and buy into fear, I just need to turn on the News. I don’t need any more in my life. Good luck.- pimpernell

The structure of the clso1 settlement documentation is that there is a covering letter ( which says very clearly ALL years involved in a scheme to April 2011 are settled); and then the settlement doc itself which only refers to the tax for the open years ( plus interest) because this is the bit...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms
No. Because a settlement is legally binding and covers all years to April 2011 for the scheme settled (for clso 1 settlements). The settlement terms include clauses that prevent HMRC re-visiting years where settlement is agreed for income tax and ni - a settlement is not just a one way street...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms My deal wasn’t bespoke. It was the same deal as everyone got under clso1. You seem to struggle to grasp this? HMRC were just late that’s all - admin problems their side - and I admit I used it to my advantage because I could see clearer as...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms It’s not a level playing field either. BG have had to show their hand and HMRC seem to have reacted accordingly. Considering 2017 FB HMRC have payed a blinder imho. They seem to have covered almost all angles: employer ( end client) not liable...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms I settled in September this year. I applied for clso1 in June 2015 and that meant submitting a D03 form with loan amounts. HMRC never got back to me for over 18 months and when they did asked me to pay voluntary restitution for closed years. I...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms I think they want the money now and are offering settlement terms because they’ll have guaranteed revenue. They probably know that some people will want to litigate and that’s a balls ache for them because it could be years before they get the...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms
I do. Settled means settled, and under clso1 that means all years in the scheme settled up to April 2011 and includes closed years. Once you settle for a scheme you are not affected by 2019 lc. That’s what settlement means and is why HMRC are offering settlement - a way out of 2019 otherwise why...- pimpernell

Finance Bill 2017-18 V HMRC DR Settlement Terms
Agree with you. This is where the absolute injustice lies - if you have all closed years and you know that people who have a mix of open and closed, and were therefore inadvertently given a heads up to settle early with what turns out to be favourable terms. You never had that chance. FWIW i...- pimpernell
