They don't care about the collateral which got in their way.
They have always been about trapping just a few in an inescapable trap, to get their legislation, that's all this has ever been about.
Once they have that it will send the remaining PSCs into the arms of umbrellas and a PAYE structure.

Did anyone spot this last week?
https://www.accountingweb.co.uk/tax/...cape-crackdown
HMRC has been accused of “stunning incompetence” by a leading employment status expert after 246 former clients of Boox who failed to appeal PAYE determinations under the managed services companies (MSC) legislation may get off, whereas the 915 that did file an appeal may end up having to pay.

Also worth noting that you can make a payment on account to avoid this interest.

Did you pay on account?

We wrote to HMRC again in August asking to reduce the demands for all of the years based on the above to nil. They have finally come back saying they reviewed it and reduced all the years for which they've made demands to nil.
Good luck to everybody else.

You're not alone. Hang in there. Hopefully you have some robust evidence in your favour. Be prepared however that HMRC have no ethics, mercy, sense of logic or are capable of sensibly dealign with this matter.
I did not pay on account. I estimate it would be hard to get the funds back promptly once they have them after this outrageous extortion attempt is quashed.
HMRC so far want three tax years. I assume that's the case for most of us. In my case the defence is as follows:
- in the first year under consideration I did not receive more than half of the company's revenue as per 1(b) of https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/1/section/61B
- in the latter two years my company wasn't a client of the "MSCP" (I appointed a different accountant and broke any contact with the "MSCP")
HMRC have so far ignored the above evidence (new accountant contract+old accountant disengagement email, bank statements for the 1(b) rule etc) and sent a templated response about waiting for the test cases. I have also compiled extensive evidence of emails, statements, agreements etc of me running my own business as a backup. I fully expect them to raise another set of demands for the following years even though I have had nothing to do with the MSCP for years. To top it all, like others, I've been coerced into a standstill agreement re NICs.
Good luck to everybody else.

Yip sums it perfectly do the right thing, don't use dodgy umbrellas (linked to loans, EBT and Trusts) use LTD and get yourself a FCA accountant and have them do virtually nothing but your books and here we are....
I'd love to believe it's utter incompetence but we never knows with Hector.
They win by getting us to shoot ourselves in the foot, sing like canaries, (Remember the famous 'based on information received' in the original claims?) giving them all the information they need so they have to do very little to claim a sizeable amount of money to enable further attacks but most importantly they will do anything they can to get the legislation they want.
