Well it has to be just and reasonable.Originally posted by ChimpMaster View PostWhen you say 'guess', what metrics are HMRC likely to use?
Various cases, more VAT ones that income tax of late, have looked at what HMRC can and do use to inform their opinion.
We have noticed a tendency for HMRC to look at day rate for a first go at a value. They will assume that you achieved the maximum day rate for the task and had no holidays or other time off and also that the gross day rate all went to you.
In reality, day rate for the same job often varied and breaks for holiday or whilst the client reset their objectives are common. Also fees paid by the client to the agent were never yours and cannot (in my view) be your taxable income.
If HMRc come up with a value, then the onus is on you to show it is excessive.
If you come up with a calculation then it is for HMRC to show it is not just and reasonable.
My preference would be to get your retaliation in first.

Information they hold on you can be obtained via an SAR (Subject Access Request).
