Hi I would suggest googling COP 26. This is the code of practice regarding overpaid tax credits. From what you have said, this seems to be a case of HMRC failing to make proper and timely use of the information that you gave them. As a result of the telephone conversation, you had a reasonable belief that they would and had acted upon the information. I would await their response and then post back here and we can draft a letter regarding the amount and treatment of any overpayment they allege you owe

I see no reason why you can't ring and progress check if you think it'll put your mind at rest.

Just so you are aware; Since 6 April 2008, private limited companies have not been obliged to appoint a company secretary unless the company's articles contain a reference to the company having a secretary. However, existing private limited companies may retain a company secretary if they wish and newly established companies can opt to appoint one. If you're running a public limited company you must by law have a company secretary. The company secretary usually acts as the chief administrative officer of the company, leaving the directors free to concentrate on running the business. The company secretary doesn't have to be a director but they do share some of the directors' legal responsibilities. However, ultimate responsibility for ensuring the company is properly administered remains with the directors. I take it the company is limited; that being the case, whilst not a director you would be classed as an office holder and would therefore be an employee. Use the ESI (employment status indicator) on HMRC website - just put esi in search box. You can contact HMRC for a status ruling; the status inspector may need to interview the employer, you and other workers to establish the position

Absolutely Annette, I love this quote from him the best! "We need a regulator who can beat the bastards, bash the bullies, control the crooks, comfort the complaining and ease the pains of the people. Unless we get that, the sort of extortion racket that I have described will continue. I hope that my hon. and learned Friend will give us a regulator who can deal with these people". Classic!

http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2007-03-27d.1471.0 Interesting debate from House of Commons concerning the treatment meted out by bailiffs!

Re Austin Mitchell MP...I think his daughter had a run in with bailiffs over a PCN so he'd be an excellent one to contact as he has had personal experience of bailiffs

Message from HMRC site; The use of local tax office names and addresses no longer reflects the way HMRC handles the affairs of our PAYE and Self Assessment customers and these addresses should not be given to customers outside our Specialist Business Areas. The Contact Us pages of our Internet site gives details of the HMRC addresses that our customers should use: http://search2.hmrc.gov.uk/kbroker/hmrc/contactus/start.jsp

I take it the PAYE reference starts with a 948 or 615?

The tax office you deal with is based on your employers address. If you are self employed, then the tax office will be based on your address.

P60 and salary doesn't Match
Gbarbm replied to Justice_Seeker's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
The tax year runs from 6 April in one year to 5 April in the next, depending on your pay day a payment may fall in week 53 which is really week 1 of the new tax year The employer makes this adjustment so that payments for the following year are in sync and you don't receive excess tax allowances. You will know if this has been done as the week 53 box on the P60 will be ticked. This box obviously alerts HMRC to the adjustment so that they can correctly account for it on their systems -
Well at least you'll know where you stand I suppose

It shouldn't take too long; I think mine took about 8/9 days in total

Holiday pay and on call allowance
Gbarbm replied to loz's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
Well that seems to contradict the other statement doesn't it! -
Holiday pay and on call allowance
Gbarbm replied to loz's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
Shame! That, as they say, is that. -
Sounds to me like they are trying to reconstruct records for some reason....could they have had an internal audit by the company accountant or maybe they are anticipating a visit from HMRC and are trying to sort things out before they come

If you contact HMRC and they decide to undertake a compliance intervention, if the employer is at fault for not paying over tax and NI they will collect it from the employer The employer is legally responsible to collect and remit these deductions. HMRC will maintain the contributory principle by ensuring that the primary (employees) NI are deemed to have been paid so that there is no detriment to the employee in the future when claiming benefits or state pension

Help In Regards To Self Employment
Gbarbm replied to MakeToastNotWar's topic in Self Employment Issues and Questions
I would suggest your girlfriend uses the employment status indicator (ESI) on HMRC website... Just put ESI in the search box on HMRC website. This will give her some idea of her employment status as a starting point. -
By the way, regarding the tax code and no payslips etc, I would be tempted to let HMRC know about this because I think they will be interested and may even decide to make a compliance visit
-
In a word NO you do not have to tell them. Several years ago, tax credits were paid with wages via the employer, where they were advised of the daily rate by the tax credits office but that is no longer the case. If it were me, I would be inclined to ask the employer why they require the information and explain that you are under no statutory obligation to give that information
-
Yeah will be glad when it's finished; I did offer to pay the £88 in full but they said no, it's on the system now... Ah well I did offer Glad you're feeling a bit better about it now

Hi If the contractor is carrying out a contract within the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) then he has a responsibility to deduct tax at source (usually 20%) less labour and material costs. You should receive a payment advice from the contractor which you include on your SA return (self employment page) If the total amount you receive in the year from self employment is below the small earnings exemption (SER) you don't have to pay NI, otherwise, you pay class 2 NI and if your self employment exceeds a certain amount (sorry can't remember of top of my head but google Class 4 NI rates) then you pay Class 4

Depends on the case worker I suppose; as I say, I think the most likely scenario (and HMRCs preferred option) will be to recover it from a subsequent award. Just for your info, I owed them £1500 In 2003/04 (error with Childcare) and they have just taken it from my subsequent award. The balance is now £88 and they are taking £1.50 a week off me...I'll be fully paid up by Feb 2013!

Hi Sorry you've not had a response before now. I know its easy for me to say, but please don't panic! Just respond to the compliance letter, just say you've taken advice and realise you have made an error in not declaring your income for the reason as you've stated on here. Any underpayment of tax credits will be collected from a subsequent award.

Hi Well lesson learned, never mind we've all been there! Just write to HMRC and give them all the details as you have posted on here. Send them a copy of the tenancy agreement/rent book etc If you have papers from the court concerning the financial arrangements regarding your divorce, send them a copy... Don't send the original documents as HMRC may lose them! Post back here if you need further advice

Hi Write to HMRC, send it by recorded signed for delivery. State that you have no connection with the person they maintain you are in a relationship with. Advise them that your finances are separate from his and send a photocopy of a recent bank statement Ask them to state in writing on what grounds they are refusing your claim and state that unless they provide you with documentary evidence to support their refusal to award you tax credits you will have no option but to escalate your complaint to the Director if benefits and Credits. State that you expect a full written response within 14 days from the date if your letter. Remember to put your national insurance number on the letter. Post back here when you get a response and we can discuss your next step
