HMRC Powers and their attitude towards taxpayers in general

Posted by mjkandco PM | on Fri, 18/03/2011 - 13:51 629 1 comment | report

The HMRC now has wide-ranging powers since the enactment of FA2008 and subsequent legislation. May I suggest that you read the article in taxation-volume 166 No 4280, 11November 2011 as a starting point.

There is also issues about the decision in the recent case on the seizure of documents- R(on the application of Glenn & Co (Essex) ltd) v HMRC (2010[EWHC 1469 (admin)], 18 June 2010- and in particular what is a document?

this is is under "old rules" for 01/02 & 07/08

We are getting unnecessary grief from local inspectors treating small one man bands who we do the vat for as capricous and negligent. Our records are reliable theirs are "incomplete". The inspectors seem to have no knowledge of the emotional caosts of running a business alone let alone the financial costs.
