The HMRC Counter Avoidance (CA) Teams are dealing with matters such as Offshore assets, trusts and bank accounts as well as working to settling peoples’ tax affairs under the latest 2020 settlement terms, for those still having unsettled disguised remuneration schemes.
These can comprise EBT’s, Contractor loan schemes and umbrella companies and the fear of what you may owe the taxman could have been hanging over your head for years.
Any CA investigation into your tax affairs is scary as it involves dragging up matters going back many years, offshore issues and heavy tax liabilities and interest charges. The likelihood is you were sold it as a valid tax scheme which you genuinely believed was quite within in the law at the time.
These settlements can be highly disruptive to your business and family life and involve a huge amount of time on your part. Let Lindsay take the burden off you and resolve the matter hopefully with no penalty charges whatsoever.
Lindsay’s involvement pays dividends, as not only will she give you a free initial overview on the phone, but her prices are more than competitive, for someone with years of experience, both inside HMRC as a Tax Inspector and on the other side, the kinder side helping you!
She may be able to give you a ‘fixed fee’ for this type of work, if it is clear from the outset what needs to be done. There is often a ‘time to pay arrangement’ to be agreed in these cases which often have been open with HMRC for many years.
It essential that you get expert, specialist advice from the very minute that you receive the letter, and a phone call is the best way – with ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ you will find Lindsay very approachable, practical, knowledgeable, helpful and never judgemental. Whatever you decide you will go forward with more information, peace of mind and ‘forewarned is always forearmed’ and everything is in complete confidence.
Call 07879 464 577 at any time, but often a quick text, or contact on email or in the calendar first, ensures we both have time to devote to hearing your story and fears.
