Generic HMRC Loan Charge Enquiry Letter

[dangermaus]

Yes I know a number of people who are getting these and not all of them had been in a scheme in previous years. I would expect anyone who has been in a scheme in the past will automatically be getting these anyway. Pure fishing trip.

I was in an EBT scheme from 2014 til earlier this year, have already sent of loan amounts to HMRC via WTT but still havent ever heard a thing from HMRC regarding tax avoidance. In fact last week I even got a letter stating I had overpaid tax last year and have a refund on its way to my account. HMRC are an absolute shambles to say the least!

Hi, would very much appreciate your feedback.

I received one of these letters stating "... I believe you have used an avoidance scheme..." dated 23rd, November.

My questions are:

- Has anyone received one of these letters this late? Are there any patterns as how HMRC send these letters? From the top offenders on their list to the least suspected?

- Has anyone ever only been in a Limited setup, never had any loans of any sorts, or a pure Umbrella (i.e. for payment processing only, and no schemes involved) received one of these?

Thanks.

Regarding your second question, I’ve been moderating this forum for 5 years and I’ve never heard of this.

I would contact webberg or Phil and explain things to them, I would not try and straighten things out on your own without getting advice first.
