No problem - I will let you know once I receive anything through

HMRC have emailed 2-weeks prior to the Tribunal hearing date, and have withdrawn from my appeal. HMRC: Tribunal response:

Sorry, I've not been well at all this past week and have been asleep most days - extremely fatigued. I'll get this done today and upload it here for review if that's okay. HMCTS has yet to respond to my email regarding the extension of 14 days, but I'll still do it and send it to them prior to Thursday 21st (14 days from 7th). FYI: In advance, HMRC has submitted a revised Statement of Case, adding info re the Robson case - see below.

I'll study it over the weekend and make comparisons and notes. So I'll draft, say, a paragraphed list of comments, on how this case meets/matches mine and how HMRC's comments against me, contradict what has been ruled in this case, in favour of the appellent. Essentially... HMRC said XXX, but a judge ruled in the opposite favour as set out in XXX by ruling that XXX, etc?

I didn't, no, I've not sent anything in preparation for any hearing. All of what I wanted to bring to their attention previously, was contained within HMRC's "bundle"

It's interesting as in my original "hearing", the HMRC agent did mention, in front of the Judge, that this was indeed a "scam". In relation to the Witness Statement, HMRC has previously provided a "Bundle" which contains 100+ pages of everything I've submitted to FTR/HMRC, etc., and I do remember being able to agree that is all there is to be included. Is it not a case of just saying I agree with everything that's been provided, with maybe the addition of this case, and so forth? As opposed to providing everything again (I will certainly lose the plot gathering all of that). This is from the recent letter: Do I simply not just state I'm calling not Witnesses? Following the above, my letter states: I don't have any "witnesses".... or is this precedence a "witness" to wrongdoing? I'm really confused by their term "witness" Thanks in advance,

Done

The Directions PDF is more just reiterating the process from 2022 to 2023+. The Letter To Me PDF, is them just reminding me to submit a Witness Statement - I have no idea what that is, or how I do it. However, it kindly makes reference to an appeal that was decided upon a few months ago, in a case similar to mine, in which the appellent won, as the Tribunal: "concluded that *agent* was the not authorised agent of *appellent*. That being so, the return cannot be deemed to have been submitted on behalf of *appellent*. As s29 TMA requires the filing of a return the statutory requirements are not satisfied... For the reasons set out above, the appeal is allowed." This is exactly the same situation as mine, is it not? So the Tribunal have shown favour to the appellent, against HMRC, and the appellent is no longer required to pay HMRC anything.

Sorry for the massive delay, I'm due to go back into hospital for surgery on 26th Sep 2023, so my mind has been elsewhere. I have an update provided by the Tribunal, sent on 11th Aug 2023 which I've just seen in emails. 1 - see attached PDF "Letter to Me". I believe this is in relation to me still needing to provide a Witness statement. Please can somebody help with what I need to provide here? It's passed the 14 days, but I'm sure I'll be okay if I get a response to them today. Contained within the "Letter To Me" are details re a "Case of Robson", which contains precedence for a likewise case in relation to mine, in which the appellant won and the Tribunal accepted their appeal. 2 - see attached PDF "Full Directions". This is the full log and event for the Directions and proceedings. Just so you can see where things are up to and what's due to come across the next few weeks/months.

sorry lol i've not been actively keeping up to date with it - i've been in hospital for surgery since Oct and only getting round to existing things like this needing updates. FYI: this was sent by HMRC yesterday:

I've not unfortunately - are you able to link me or paste here?

Hi, please see attached the updated directions - the next "deadline" I believe is 27th Jan which is Friday, however, do I need to send anything across? Everything I've sent, is included within their file isn't it? Unless there's anything else now I can include, which may be useful? Directions updated.pdf

Hi slick, I've emailed Tax Appeals and said: "Following HMRC's Application for an Extension of Time and recent Statement of Case PDF, please can I be provided with updated Directions for myself with updated/accurate deadlines?"

Thanks slick. A load of it seems repetitive insofar what I've already told them multiple times, but then again, this is their "overview" I presume.

Hi, please see attached HMRC's Statement of Case. Do I need to do anything now - does this change anything? It's been a long while since the last hearing. PS: the Tribunal did grant the extension in the end. 20221014 Statement of Case.pdf
