Hmrc - Nice surprise on the doormat

[dig dug dan]

great news., the hmrc have sent me a letter saying they are checking my tax return from 2012 a "compliance Check"
They have sent a lettr to my accoutant requesting information.
Not best pleased as even if they find nothing, i will get a bill from the accountant no doubt:(
Anyone else been singled out?

You can get ins for this plus all ac fees are 100 percent tax dedudeable

[lutonlagerlout]

i paid this insurance for a number of years but if you get investigated you are stuffed
funny its your accountant wanting to flog you insurance to cover his fees
I think you'll be 100% as you are a straight goer dan

Im in the middle of a tax investiagtion now for 2011/2012, they have requested paperwork for all private and savings accounts aswell now

after 6 months of meetings (interrogation) they found an invoice that didn't match up to any jobs we had done and decided that I was on the fiddle and worked out a figure backdated 7 years and wanted me too pay it I refused and didn't pay

[DNgroundworks]

^^^ this is what im dreading, if they fine me and backdate it i will be completley unable to pay.

Well as transfers where made between accounts (for pityfull amounts of money may i add) then apparently they can look wherever they choose.

How much did they want you to pay?

[ambient]

wont say how much but they reckoned I was doing 4 average jobs per year and then backdated it 7 years

Ambient
What was the outcome after you refused to pay?

Al

[ambient]

went to appeal and ended up paying a quarter of what was originally demanded

Is it worth getting the insurance from the accountant though as I have been told the fees from them can be huge too.
Either way we get stung i take it
