Time to name and shame - it is clear these people (whoever they are) need a good smacking. And you don't have to be the victim to lodge a complaint with the ASA, merely someone who finds an advert misleading.

Originally posted by fridgeI phoned the brollie and was told again that I dont need to have receipts? The guy said they had obtained Revenue approval for this and pointed me to their website. I dont trust what these people are saying so have parted company. Iam setting up my own company and getting an accountant now.Thank god I only used these people for a couple of months.
If they are making the same claims on their website, and if it's who I'm thinking of then they are, report them to the Advertising Standards Agency. They treat the content of web pages, especially the front page of a site, as an advert and police it accordingly.

I'd like to see how they square that circle - They say that it is OK to claim without reciepts, which we know is not.

Fridge, how far back does your fraudulent activity date? If it's only back to tax year 2005/06 you can just send in a notice of correction, pay the extra tax and interest, and not have to worry about penalties.

What I cannot understand is why nobody has taken action against any of these companies who advise people to act in a faudulant way. I was contacted by one many years ago and was told that you can claim for things you have not spent due to their dispensation. Out and out fraud! The IR are aware of what these companies are up to, so why don't they take action either by removing their dispensation or taking them to court for promoting tax evasion.
What will happen is they will simply turn their attention to the little guy some years down the line, hit them with a massive tax bill and ruin them for simply doing what their brolly told them they could do.

My accountant says that if you havent actually had the expense in the first place you cant claim it, and you still have to prove you had the expense otherwise you will end up having to pay the tax and nat insurance on it. These brollies and composite sales people dont know the first thing about tax what you can claim for expenses, all they THINK they know is that the brollie dont have to have the evidence, but YOU do!
Claim for anything the brollie tells you to if they have a REAL dispensation and youve actually had the expense and can prove it with hard evidnece.I doubt that any brollie has a real and honestly proven dispensation from the IR cos the IR probably dont know there dealing with a brollie in the first place.They are all trying to undercut each other with ridiculous claims of dispensations which i guess is the magic word for drawing in the punters.
