since i am working i can't read it properly,

i'm really not understanding what it's tailing about and how that impacts my situation lol.

 

Here are some details from my accountant

 

Current amount due is £5,151.12, broken down as follows:

 

Tax Penalties Interest Total

Tax year 2009 £512.00 £200.00 £157.18 £869.18

Tax year 2011 £0.00 £1,600.00 £231.31 £1831.31

Tax year 2012 £0.00 £1,600.00 £182.50 £1782.50

Tax year 2013 £0.00 £610.00 £56.13 £666.13

Tax year 2015 £2.00 £0.00 £0.00 £2.00

And their advice was?

(With about £615 tax [with the interest on it], and

about £4536 penalties [with the interest on it]).

[glenelkins1984]

Their advice was to write my appeal.

HMRC are not helpful,

i am trying to find out what years i was employed on PAYE, because i obviously registered as self employed at some point around that time,

 

i don't remember why, it could be that i was intending on being self employed but then got a full time job instead....

so me not really knowing anything about how it works just assumed the HMRC would see that i am working for a company and i'm not self employed.

 

they don't keep records that far back to give me on the phone,

now i have to write yet another letter.

 

How does this sound?

 

To whom it concerns,

 

I am responding to your letter dated 17th August 2017 regarding the alleged debt with HMRC. Please refer to your reference number above.

 

I would like to inform you that this situation is currently in dispute with the HMRC, subsequently I will be paying nothing to your company (CCSCollect) while the situation is in dispute with the HMRC.

 

Furthermore, once the dispute with HMRC is resolved, and If I do in fact owe the HMRC money, I will be paying directly to the HMRC.

 

I have no need or requirement to discuss this with your company (CCSCollect) any further and will not be responding to any further correspondence.

 

Kindest Regards

Hello there.

 

I'm sure others will comment on the content of what you're sending, but could I make a couple of suggestions please? I would start the letter with Dear [name of person who wrote to you]. If you don't have a name, start it Dear Sirs.

 

To finish, if you put the name of a person sign off with Yours sincerely, otherwise put Yours faithfully.

Thanks for the suggestions, but i wouldn't ever start a letter with "Dear Sirs", that sounds like a foreigner wrote it. The "Yours Sincerely" part would be a good suggestion though, I am so used to writing emails with Kind Regards i forget i am actually writing a letter here. Thanks!!

[honeybee13]

I'm clearly from a different generation, but I've written a lot of business letters in my life. I was taught that you put Dear Sirs at the beginning if you're writing to a company and don't have a name of a person there. I'm not foreign.

[glenelkins1984]

I wasn't trying to offend you there, but i have always been taught to use "To whom is concerns" if i don't know the name Both could be right or wrong i suppose. Thanks for your suggestion though, it is appreciated.

[honeybee13]

Do you know the name of the person you're writing to?

 

HB

[glenelkins1984]

I do indeed it's signed at the bottom, i will update my letter

[honeybee13]

Great, so just address it Dear [name] and put Yours sincerely at the end.

 

HB

[glenelkins1984]

Have done! Brilliant thanks.

[glenelkins1984]

Thank you to everyone who responded and helped, i apologise if my attitude has been off, just very stressed out. I appreciate everyone's help and will update the thread once i have my response.

[honeybee13]

I hope it goes well, Glen. Please keep us posted.
