HMRC - Speak to us before we have to speak to you...

I'm in M/Cr Churchy, at a very 'Ethical' place, city centre, .

You have survived the cull then. I hear that around 70 contractors gone / going this week or in the last couple of weeks.

Also an entire section (mainly permies) also been given notice

[Halo Jones]

Particularly if we were all spotless.

If I were to use this forum as a sample for the spotlessness of contractors, I would at this point be reaching for the bleach

Nope, HMRC are running adverts on the Radio here in Manchester.

It was also a line they used after the "Harry Redknapp" trial.

I'm in M/Cr Churchy, at a very 'Ethical' place, city centre, but did a stint at the tax office in Newcastle, that was the slowest paced place I ever worked at, made me fully aware the left hand is oblivious to the right hand, judging by the letters I've had from HMRC, you owe me £x,xxx, oh no you don't, we owe you now, don't we????

They're getting keener tho, ENIRS and all that with tying in with DWP etc ....

Since they don't like answering their phones to the peeps who do ring them up, I'm afraid it ain't true.

Yeah, I've always found it takes ages to get through, although on the other hand every conversation I've had with HMRC, they've been very helpful.

[SueEllen]

It's good to talk.

Probably looking to apply retrospective IR35 rules to newly sweary permies.

Then obviously they already know rainy Manchester is full of dodgy geysers. Better call them just to be sure.

[Arturo Bassick]

But isn't it aimed at people whose tax affairs have gone adrift, analogous to those behind on their mortgage being urged to contact their lenders?

I don't think they expect everyone in the country to suddenly contact them for the sake of it

Maybe we all should. They claim to be over run as it is. Think of something trivial but take a long time to explain it and hide an IR35 statement somewhere in the middle. If every single contractor did it they would be knackered. Particularly if we were all spotless.

Should this not be in the "Rangers liquidated" thread?
