Ive just text Andy and will catch up with him later today. I suspect its just become a much larger task for ETC based on the number of people receiving the letters. He's a genuine chap so im sure if ETC need to charge it will be kept to a minimal if anything at all (though obv I cant speak for...
I'll make it v simple
There is no need to pay ANYONE to sort this loan recalling nonsense. Both myself (Phil Manley of PMTC) and I believe Andy Wood (ETC Tax) are willing to assist pro bono as we both firmly believe its that simple to solve. Indeed we have agreed to pool resources if necessary...
And why exactly would I do this? Use common sense please, i'm not exactly known for shying away from offering my thoughts and opinions on any matter no matter how controversial so why would I use a second account?. I think paranoia may be getting the better of you somewhat. Bobby v much openly...
Ive answered this numerous times in this forum as it happens and im sure you can understand my slight boredom in repeating myself
The APPG themselves did their due diligence on such and indeed on their website is a copy a letter to the then chancellor (hammond) confirming that I was not part...
Hi
No problem with the question at all. Would've been easier if I still had my old linkedin profile as that evidenced all but I don't so instead:
I spent 15 years at HMRC.
qualified in their internal senior inspector courses (which you'll have to trust me or even ask HMRC themselves that they...
Whether one pays £50 or say £500 it makes no difference as its still being sold a pipe dream which if anything will only increase the purported liability due to penalties and interest. There is no winning outcome to be found with this so called 'option'. People would be better off buying a...
This.
Don't offer them a single penny and they WILL go away eventually. In fact their entire 'business' model is to install fear and pray that people make any kind of offer. There are v many numerous reasons why you are safe to ignore, but to start with the main one - if they had any legal...
I personally suspect that IF the Hoey case reaches UTT then the s684 point will be reversed and Hoey will win that area. I appreciate that their application to have a JR on such failed but that's somewhat separate to the (potential) UTT case - a JR is about the policy itself rather than its...
Hi
I don't know enough info on the quoted case to be able to say with certainty why HMRC may be acting in such a manner. I would say though that its somewhat unlikely HMRC are turning a blind eye to fraud as the OP suggests. Nor do I see any info which indicates it is anything which meets the...
I couldn't agree more with you. There is zero need to pay them a penny, further theres no need to pay anyone else to sort it either. Both myself and ETC tax are more than happy to assist pro bono to make them go away. Its not difficult and those that say differently are normally the ones who...
Another point....HMRC don't have the last word in tax, that always belongs with the courts. So how will that pan out.....well that would be a tribunal which goes through the FTT, UTT and Supreme court. That will cost 1M quid to erm….well im guessing RVQC. who will pay for that? well that would...
Hi
Hopefully you will agree that we have no problem whatsoever on a personal basis and on the few times that we have spoken we have, I like to think, always maintained a good relationship
However...Cash flow advantage? Perhaps they could have mentioned the huge penalties and interest which will...
Hi,
What we have to remember is two fold:
1/The loan charge is already law.
2/Further its already happened.
As despicable and disgraceful as it is we cant remove those facts.
I happen to know that HMRC view this forum and indeed have an email from my old direct boss stating such (Hi Paul...
Thanks!...erm I think! :-)
And look on the bright side cojak... it could be worse than Mick Hucknell…..I have to handle looking like an emaciated version of Mr Bean on a daily basis
Hi Many thanks for this post. Most appreciated. Ive in the last few mins posted a new thread which sets out my position but its going through the mods as ive had to do from a new account (as I don't recall my old login details)
Assume the post is allowed it points out, amongst other things, that...
