HMRC arrears requesting us to payback £7k + 1500 penalty

[disgruntled2007]

Can anyone help?

 

On the 11 Jan, DX100uk asked you two questions in this forum. You haven’t responded to either of them and now you come here asking for more help whilst apparently ignoring requests for information.

 

Do yourself a favour and help the experts help you. Answer the questions already asked before bombarding the forum with new ones.

Hello Disgruntled, not sure why you feel the need to be so rude and horrible, and I was not "bombarding" anyone merely asking if The posting rule would be applicable. If you are offended by that please go to another thread. You also have no idea what discussions I have had with other caggers without your knowledge. Happy Friday!

So the questions then...

[Pank]

What would you like to know?

Don't worry about the 30 days appeal issue. You appealed within the time, so that is registered. The 30 days is just about registering appeal and if someone did not do this within 30 days they would have to explain reason for late appeal.

 

Seems to me that you need to obtain a breakdown calculation/proof of the arrears amount to assess this and go through your financial position to see whether this is all correct.

 

If it is, then the appeal is about the £1500 penalty. They can impose a penalty, if you should have known that there was an error and you did not seek to make contact to get it correcfed, therefore gaining financially from an error. The onus would be on you to report any issues and not the Government to find out any error.

 

I am sure if you search online about HMRC penalty appeals you will find information that will help you.

Hi Pank,

 

When you appealed the matter in Jan :-

 

1. What did you say about the demand from HMRC.

 

2. Did you mention in your appeal that their letter/demand was not received until after 25th Dec.

 

3. What address did you use to appeal the demand.

 

From now on stay OFF the phone and keep all comms in writing only.

 

You can complain to The ICO about the failure to supply data as required, or you can use a special address to complain to HMRC.

 

But we can decide on what to do when we have more info back from you.

Hello,

 

When I sent the appeal in Jan I just said thank you for your letter dated the 14th Dec. I did not give the date that the letter was received.

I used the address that was on the letter the same address I have been corresponding with.

 

I did advice in my letter that I am waiting for my SAR request and until that is received I am able to give a full and final answer.

 

I have now sent another letter stating that they may have prepared their letter on the 14th of December but I did not receive their letter until after the christmas period the 3rd of January and my appeal is not late.

 

I have sent all these letters special delivery and I have not had an answer to that letter as yet.

 

Many Thanks

Hi Pank,

 

Please confirm the address you were corresponding with as per my Q3 above.

Letter to the same address, enclosing a copy of the previous letters including the SAR, and this time say :-

 

Dear sir or madam,

 

FORMAL COMPLAINT

UTR - xxxxx xxxxx

 

I refer to previous letters that remain unanswered by HMRC. Copies of these are enclosed for your information.

 

I also made a SAR using your website on xxdate. This should have been answered within 40 days and you are already in default of this deadline.

 

Please now comply within 14 days or a formal complaint will be made to The ICO

 

In particular, I require the recordings of telephone conversations about alleged arrears and penalties due, discussed with HMRC staff on or around xxdates.

 

Yours faithfully,
