Hello,

Old user, new issue :

Where do i post HMRC issues please? Its regrading old tax penalties from 200-2002 reclaimed against last 2 years accounts as a self employed person resulting in loss of approx 5k

Your there already I have moved you...please continue to post here.

Regards

Andy

My Husband is currently self employed. His accountant has filed the first 2 years of accounts and HMRC have taken both of these against old penalties and interest back from 2000 -2002 resulting in a loss of over 5k

Can this be done

Why have they not contacted us before now

Can I appeal, how, what do I need and is it worth it

How do I prove that is is rubbish if I dont have any proof as this is over 18 years ago

History

2 years self employed 2018 2016

Employed 2016 2010

2010 back 20 years self employed

After the fist year 2016 2017 refund was offset against previous penalties my husband had to phone up to find out as we had not received any notification.. They told him that his account was clear, so we submitted the new year. We asked for the refund but they told us they were investigating something and would be 6 weeks. Our accountant has got a PDF downloaded from them saying it is interest and penaltys from 2001 to 2002

any questions or advice will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Goto their website

Fill out their free sar

Make sure they hold the data (proof) to be able to do this

9/10 for a period of that long ago they dont

Hey thanks for advice. How would they tell us they are offsetting it if they dont though?

The pdf we have seen stated its for penaltys and interest for 2000to 2002. This is the 2nd rebate theyve done it to. Itd a lot of money to just let go

Haha you trust them??

Weve seen several mistakes here

And refunds when they are put to strict proof rather than a line in your summary file typed in by someone years ago

Im starting to wonder why I trusted them.. the amounts owed seem to be exactly what weve submitted for a refund too

Okay - So have SAR - we will wait and see,

Just been looking at the PDF

it states 1st payment on account,

2nd on account and

then balancing payments thats 1000 each time.

unless im reading it wrong?

then smaller bits of 7 or even 17 pound.

Bizarre.

So tell me,

what counts as proof from their side

- I dont have anything,

Ive spent all day looking though papers but I havent kept anything from 8 years back.

I just dont see how it is fair.. I cant argue something if I dont myself have anything to look back at

Ive attached it so you can look at it, again

any advice however small is appreciated

if they are correct then they can offset but the burden of proof would lie with them,

It also begs the question why they ahvent adjusted tax code for the last decade and a half to get the money back that way.

SAR will hopefully tell you something and thne you can go to a tribunal to challenge at least the interest figures if nothing else

Perfect thank you!
