Okay, thanks for your help and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this. Much appreciated:)

He was never asked for a self assessment return, even after every phone call he's made subsequently. Once he'd explained that the relevant documents had been filed to say that he was no longer self employed, they were fine with that. Then he'd receive a new letter, phone again, explain again and be given the excuse that one department doesn't know what the other is doing, but that he was indeed correct in what he was telling them. He was told a couple of phone calls ago that he didn't need to do any returns because they can see by his records that he's been paying PAYE tax. It's just this time they've decided that he was self employed and they've still not asked for a return... Thank you for your advice

I wasn't at home so didn't have the exact details to hand, I apologise. He appealed over the phone about all contributions where they agreed with him about the details every time except for this time. The breakdown consists of all three items you have listed. I have just noticed 2010 is included also. The list is 05/04/08 SA Determination, Tax £600, Interest to 20/01/15 £106.31 05/04/08 SA 1st Penalty for Late Return, Tax £100, Interest to 20/01/15 £17.21 05/04/08 SA 2nd Penalty for Late Return, Tax £100, Interest to 20/01/15 £16.06 05/04/09 SA First Payment on account, Tax £300, Interest to 20/01/15 £53.14 05/04/09 SA Second Payment on account, Tax £300, Interest to 20/01/15 £49 05/04/09 SA Determination, Tax £3000, Interest to 20/01/15 £447.28 05/04/09 SA 1st Penalty for Late Return, Tax £100, Interest to 20/01/15 £14.48 05/04/09 SA 2nd Penalty for Late Return, Tax £100, Interest to 20/01/15 £13.10 05/04/09 SA 1st Late Payment Surcharge, Tax £180, Interest to 20/01/15 £22.26 05/04/09 SA 2nd Late Payment Surcharge, Tax £180, Interest to 20/01/15 £22.26 05/04/10 SA First Payment on Account, Tax £1800, Interest to 20/01/15 £268.37 05/04/10 SA Second Payment on Account, Tax £1800, Interest to 20/01/15 £241.59 05/04/10 SA 1st Penalty for Late Return, Tax £100, Interest to 20/01/15 £11.49 05/04/10 SA 2nd Penalty for Late Return, Tax £100, Interest to 20/01/15 £10.11 Total unpaid amount £10052.66 I'm not sure what other information I can give to you.

When he changed to being employed by his limited company, he was never sent any self assessment forms as they were aware he was PAYE. He has documentation with both his accountant and the insolvency service to prove this. He has had a determination made on 05/04/2008 for £600 and another on the 05/04/2009 for £3000. The rest is all 'charges' and when he phoned yesterday, they still insist he was self employed, even when he's proven that he wasnt.

It's 2006/07 they're claiming. He was PAYE by his own limited company . The HMRC are insisting he was self employed. He has proved that he wasn't. Since 2009 when the company became insolvent, he has been employed by a few companies and never worked for himself and has paid tax (PAYE) which is on his wage slips. They are saying he hasn't put in his self assessment returns, but he didn't need to do this as he was PAYE.

It's from the tax years 2006 to present. He was employed by his company until 2009, of which, all payments were made and the accounts show this. HMRC are saying he was self employed by his company, he was not. He hasn't been self employed since he started working as a limited company and all the documentation was transferred accordingly. The company was made insolvent in 2009 and every other month, he gets a letter stating he owes the self employed tax and he calls them to dispute it every time he does. They say that they've sorted it out, then a couple of months down the line, he gets another letter saying he owes more. Now they say they're taking him to court even though he's already proved that he's not liable for r it as it's been paid.

My husband was self employed up to 2006 and then changed to a limited company. From 2006-09, he was employed by his company (not self employed) which paid his taxes. The company then became insolvent. HMRC are saying he owes £10k tax. Any advice?

Documents were faxed, so they definitely got them. I'll ring them Monday. Thanks

No problems I'm aware of, like I said, never had a problem ever. Haven't made any claim at all either. Was asks to produce all sorts of documents only to receive a letter today telling me that my policy has been cancelled?

Would anybody be able to tell me why car insurance companies won't insure me? I have a clean record and have never had any problem before, but now I'm having difficulties. Please help because I think I may be a victim if identity theft/fraud :/

Well I will certainly do my best lol. And my son said thankyou to everyone too. Gotta go get his hours for this week now hehe x

We're back!!! We had a nice break and we've just had a phonecall from my sons manager inviting him back to work, because after further investigations, they've found that they have no basis for their accusations so the disciplinary had been cancelled. Woohoo!!! Thankyou all so much for all of your help and advice xx

That's why I requested at least recorded delivery. I work at the post office, so there's no way I don't know the rules on post going missing and such lol. We plan to relax for the weekend and thx for the best wishes. I will keep you all up to date when I get back, as unfortunately, there's no Internet or 3G where we're staying. Thankyou everyone x

They said they were going to post it to him, so I told them that they would have to send it by, at the very least, recorded delivery so it can be tracked, to which she agreed. I also explained that we are away for a long weekend, so I would get it redelivered to me at my work, so it would be at least Wednesday, because of the bank holidays, until I received it. Once we've got the statements, we'll be able to see more what they're basing their findings on.

We both appreciate all of the help and advice you've all given to us. Let's just hope that things work out for the best. I didn't call the HT dept, just going to keep my cards close to my chest, so to speak

It has one main trading name, but operates a lot of restaurants under different names. I thnk I'm going to phone the head office again tomorrow and speak to them. I've already written everything down and have typed them up and printed off enough copies to write a novel, which is more than his workplace has done ;-)

Maybe Who, but all we really want is his name cleared. The dirty stuff cones later if it's needed. I'm just trying to get as much info as I can to support his case ;-)

It's awful. At least we've got a week now to try and sort something out

2nd largest restaurant chain in the country

All we want is his name cleared of everything, but the way I see it is, if they're gonna play dirty, then we've got to have every defence we can. My sons words to the boss when he was asked were "why would I risk losing my job by stealing money". My sons the only one out of his group of friends (there are about 10 of them in the group) that has a job because they're really hard to come across where I live. He also goes to a YMCA training course three days a week to better himself and gets help with that too, so it's not like he even needs the money

Don't get me wrong, he isn't a complete angel. Any patent who says that their kids are angels are lying. But the one thing we've done is tell him to always be honest and tell the truth, no matter what the consequences, even if it means he's gonna get in trouble for it. I've got to give him his due, he's always done that, which is why I would move heaven and earth for him. And as for it getting better, it depends whether you've got boys or girls, coz they switch as they get older lol. Boys start off bad and get better, girls are the opposite

Might do that. I know our local spso's because of where I work lol

He agreed to the search, but didn't agree to the searching of his pockets or removal of his shoes and the other stuff I said, but he said that he let the guy carry on (who is not management) because he felt he would look guilty otherwise

I don't know to be honest. It's not something I've asked him. I just assume now that he's 18, he would automatically ask, because it's what he's done for as long as he's been able to talk

No, it was a female that searched him first, but it was the bloke who searched him last that made a "joke" of it. However, this bloke DID put his hands in my sons pockets, checked the waistband of his trousers and underwear, told him to take his shoes off, checked them and checked the soles of his feet because he had socks on and all of this was without asking permission first, but my son said he had nothing to hide which was why he allowed it to happen.
