Incorrect tax demands

Amount correct, tax type wrong

Didn't find your answer?

I have just received the second tax demand that is wrong.

A letter from HMRC regarding overdue VAT of an amount and refers to VAT

The attached statement of liabilities agrees to the amount demanded but is for unpaid CIS, even though teh reference on teh statement is the VAT number!

So where does that put the client legally should they try and enforce recovery? 

I attach an extract to illustrate, I know HMRC are bad but these are new lows for me!

Personally, I wouldn't let it get to the point where they are trying to enforce it, being the wrong type of tax in my opinion is a mute point, you and your client reconise the figure and you both agree its owed. Where its owed isn't really the issue.

Tell them its not VAT, whether you tell them its CIS is up to you.
