tax demand out of the blue

tax demand out of the blue

Didn't find your answer?

we have been dealing with this client's SATRs since March 2008 commencing with filing late tax returns going back to 04/05. He has just received this month completely out of the blue demands for 01/02 & 02/03 apparently generated by returns submitted by someone back in January 2007 - his online statement simply says "not currently being pursued" then "collection resumed" - i have not seen this before - what could have prompted it?

Does it matter? Who can presume to understand the ways of HMRC - though it could be something to do with those years pre-dating the merger of revenue & customs. Is there any dispute that the amounts are owed?

Maybe they just found him again.

but they've had his address for at least the last 5 years - the amounts demanded appear to be determinations from 14 years ago just discovered

You can only play it by ear - it sounds like this client's record is far from exemplary so he's hardly in the box seat.

I agree but I am intrigued by the elapse of time
