Tax Enquiry Advice Partnership |
| Remember not all tax advisers can deal with all taxes nor do they realise how much (or rather how little) HMRC can do. However it also has to be remembered that since 1st April 2009 the procedures for obtaining information from taxpayers and other third parties have changed along with some of their powers and deterrents. If the matters are important enough then you also might have to contend with visits at very short notice and handling the new Schedule 36 information powers. Make sure that your tax adviser is up to scratch and ring Bill on 07751720507 or Vicky on 07899913414 |
| New Disclosure Opportunity - The second tax amnesty will arrive on 1st September 2009 with taxpayers having the opportunity to get a low 10% penalty on the tax evaded if they have understated their tax liabilities in respect of income arising overseas (in an offshore bank account) Although people that didn't have bank accounts with one of the big 5 banks previously targeted (namely Barclays, HSBC, HBOS, Lloyds and RBS) are likely to be able to get this low % penalty there will be conditions and hoops to jump through. From problems seen by the firm it is clear that DIY NDO's will not be a good idea as all taxes need to be considered and for incomplete disclosures there could be problems that might not be settled for money (i.e. there could be possible prosecution). Get the help and expertise available from Tax Enquiry Advice and don't take the chance of getting it wrong. We should be working together as quickly as possible as obtaining the information needed to make your disclosure could be difficult. We can do it all for you as this time around agents can be authorised to complete the disclosure online with you. Important dates are:- 1 September 2009 - Start date 1 October 2009 - Online Notification and Disclosure available 30 November 2009 -End of Notification period 31January 2010 - End of paper disclosure period 12 March 2010 - End of Electronic Disclosure 13 March 2010 - HMRC will start follow up compliance work If you haven't done the necessary by then you will clearly need specialist help Be WARNED - You need to take this opportunity as HMRC still hold information in relation to tax evaders from the last "amnesty" and inevitably they will want to make examples of somebody at some time.
