Reply to: HMRC Enquiries for EBT Loans from Cascade London

[DotasScandal]

Hi All can anyone please give me a telephone number or web address for Hamilton Trust the EBT provider I have received the dreaded demand and need to contact them to appeal

That's not the right way to go about this. You should speak to whoever introduced you to the scheme (I guess the company whose name appears in the title of this thread).
What you want to make is a representation, not an appeal. APN offer no possibility of appeal.

Hi all - does anyone have a ballpark figure for the amount hmrc are asking for? I have seen the accrued interest calculator, but is there a rough figure for the base amount they believe is owed? i.e. 40% plus interest?

I have a discovery letter only, but want to get a rough idea of what might be coming

Thanks!

HMRC

HMRC are still in the process of issuing assessments (this latest round began in August 2013) to ensure there is an open appeal or enquiry in place which will enable them to implement the new proposed legislation relating to the issue of Failure and Payment notices with penalties for late payment or non-compliance.

You have been warned, so prepare now.

Also, send a letter to your Member of Parliament objecting to these proposals.

A year on

hi guys,

I have just received a similar letter (Feb 2014) and was wondering where you have got with the actions mentioned above?

Did anyone pay, or appeal?

Do let me know

Dear all

Just a reminder that this weekend is your last chance to respond to the proposed legislation on ‘Tackling marketed tax avoidance’.

As you probably know, the Government intends to introduce an accelerated payment measure which will give HMRC the power to link your tax affairs to another person's case and demand money up front, with no right of appeal.

If HMRC are granted these powers, it will allow them to demand almost immediate payment of disputed tax before you have had the chance to have your case heard at the tax tribunal (FTT).

If you do one thing this weekend, be sure to spend 10 minutes firing off an email to ask that these proposals are rejected. This is your last chance, so don't bury your heads in the sand!

With apologies and many thanks to everyone who has already responded!

Regards

Help Needed

It's hard to know if the majority of people who are reading this thread are affected or not, regardless of if you are or are not affected your support in this matter is urgently needed.

What is being proposed in the consultancy document gives HMRC powers that allow them to judge people "guilty until proven innocent" and force money to be paid without any court hearing. Could you imagine if you suddenly got a bill for more money than you could possibly afford, that you would be forced to sell your family home or go bankrupt? If you have children can you imagine how this will affect them, when they have done nothing wrong?

If you can empathise, please please take just 5 mins to help us (final date to respond is the 24th of Feb), we need as many people to object to what is being proposed as possible - the last document (Raising the stakes on Tax Avoidance) only 31 people responded (most of those professional bodies), we need many many more.

The letter NTRT guys have put together can be used a template (or even just sign it and send it in)

If you were in the situation some of us were in, would you not want to ask everyone possible to help?

Template letter for responding to HMRC consultation

NTRT have prepared a template letter for people to respond to the consultation. Please alter it in your own words.

Some people will say it won't count if everyone sends similar letters but HMRC will have to report to the Minister how many responses they got. So every letter does count.

Hi .. anybody settled with HMRC or anybody got case closer or any conclusion?

You'll get no reply here. Read the 1st post on this thread to see what's happening.

HMRC

Just a quick question. I've been sent a letter by HMRC reminding me to complete a tax return for the tax year ending April 2013.

This does not make any sense as I've not lived or worked in the UK since late 2008 & submitted my P85 when I left the country. A call to the muppets at HMRC was an exercise in frustration, unanswered questions & about $5 in Skype call costs.

Why are they asking for this now when I've been long gone & have not submitted anything for other previous tax years?

You have to be careful with this one and the deadline for submission is Friday 31/01/14!

You can ask HMRC to cancel the Notice to Complete a Tax Return - for guidance see:

HM Revenue & Customs: Home Page

But, they may have other information about you for 2012/13 or earlier years more likely.
