    Closing trust IHT implications

    I'm trying to look for information around what exactly would happen if I were to ask for my loans to be written off and the trust closed and I'm having trouble finding any information on how that would be taxed.... Webberg, is that something the Big Group will be dealing with and helping people...

    Resisting the APN - how - why - other questions

    I believe that "make representations" means asking HMRC to go back and check they have followed the correct procedure and "appeal" means asking a court to make a decision to withdraw the APN. I do understand what you're saying though, everyone should always check that HMRC have followed correct...

    Resisting the APN - how - why - other questions

    I think you may be right in saying that for schemes that were not DOTAS notifiable and have not been caught by GARR, then an APN can only be given if a Follower Notice exists. You could then appeal on the basis that the process has not been followed correctly. But at the moment, the vast...

    Client terminated contract early

    I imagine that there is a clause in the contract that says something along the lines of "no work = no pay" and also that they are under no obligation to provide you with work If so then you're basically on a hiding to nothing - they don't have to give you any work and if you don't work they...

    DOTAS and Umbrella companies stating schemes not DOTAS

    DOTAS and Umbrella companies stating schemes not DOTAS

    Don't listen to the guys on here telling you to not go for it, they just simply don't know what they're talking about! I reckon they're just jealous that you've found a scheme that really works and they wish they could be as cunning and intelligent as you. But whatever you do, don't even think...

    Commuting - train vs car

    I pretty much always get changed at work unless the job is really close, but how often does that happen! As you say, any relatively short journey and you can get away with the shirt on too, but you do tend to turn up a little more crinkled than everyone else, which doesn't always look totally...

    Commuting - train vs car

    Option 3: get a motorbike and ride in! no need to worry about traffic jams or busy trains when you've got a bike, all you have to do is keep an eye out for the half asleep moron in the car who is going to kill you (hello to the guy who pulled out on me last night without looking :wave:) :glasses

    Umbrella Company - Holiday Pay

    Yes, the money they put into your holiday pot comes from your pre tax earnings, so when they pay it out they need to tax it in the normal way. You can't take it as "new" income and account for it as part of your Ltd company as it was earned during your employment through the umbrella.

    APN representation grounds

    I would just keep waiting if I were you, two months is nothing to HMRC! I asked for a calculation back in Oct 2014 and only got a reply about two weeks ago Yes that's right, 6 months to give me two numbers! And I bet they'll still be complaining about how we've been dragging our feet....

    No To Retro Tax - Ongoing battle against S58 FA2008

    From what I've seen yes, if you bought a CTD say three years ago, when you do assign it to an APN they'll recalculate the interest and exclude any interest for the past three years. You wont see any reduction to the amount yet though, as interest will only be applied if you lose in the fullness...
