    HMRC trying to cover up what they did to NTRT users?

    Yep, I suspect you're right. I used to think it was possibly a bit of an hyperbole when they were sometimes accused of being "institutionally dishonest" but not any more!

    HMRC trying to cover up what they did to NTRT users?

    Despite what I'd been told a couple of weeks ago, his office has now come back saying that it's not something he can deal with, and I should make a complaint to the ICO. From what I've read about how slow and toothless they are, is it even worth the bother? Someone messaged me that their MP got...

    HMRC trying to cover up what they did to NTRT users?

    It's nearly 3 months since I submitted these requests, and all HMRC do is continually avoid responding. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/reque...pa_2003_with_p https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/reque...use_of_s6847ab It's hard not to conclude that they are trying to bury this. A couple of weeks...

    Montpelier MTM scheme

    I sent the FOI Team a reminder on Thursday that the request was a week overdue. Radio silence since. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/reque...tgoing-1482936 If the all party group of MPs do start asking questions then that will be harder to ignore.

    I was going to post this in the new thread but "Reply" is throwing the error "Invalid Page URL". I've reported this to administrator. https://forums.contractoruk.com/hmrc...-2002-3-3.html I wonder if the impending court case mentioned is why HMRC are dragging their heels over my FOI requests...

    Montpelier MTM scheme

    The second group, identified in this HMRC FOI response, are clearly the Montpelier users. I had assumed they would only represent a small proportion of HMRC's use of s684 but it turns out to be nearly half! I wonder how many of the 400 involved 2001-2 or 2002-3...

    True. My money is on it being a mistake/error that 2001-2 & 2002-3 were included in the notices.

    AFAICS, the CIP guidance only covers loans. The Montpelier scheme didn't involve loans, so clearly operationally HMRC have already departed from the guidance. Whether their use of s684 with 2001-2 and 2002-3 is another example (of them departing from the guidance) remains to be seen.

    Great, thanks, I think I've now got all I need for the FOI.

    Montpelier MTM scheme

    The plot thickens. Apparently, a few years ago, HMRC issued a bunch of decision notices to people in the scheme, under s684, which included 2001-2 and 2002-3. I wonder if anyone settled those years on the basis of these notices? Before I fire off an FOI, can anyone confirm the following: The...

    Interesting. A couple of months ago I raised an FOI about their use of s684 but they dodged a question about years prior to the ITEPA. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/circumstances_where_s684_itepa_2 I'll now try something a bit more targeted. Time to do a bit of digging.

    Here is HMRC's response, which was more informative than I was expecting. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/941405/response/2242680/attach/3/FOI2023%2004297.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1
