No problem complying just wondering what on earth they are going to do - check every single invoice, add everything up etc - ugh i hate the job centre lol! Just wondered, thanks!
-
My husband and i are self employed, we have been on UC's since having our daughter in 2016. They have asked for proof of expenses for the last 3 periods, which is fine but we have to make job centre appointments, take all the paperwork, for them to do what , go through it all and add it all up or what? Just a bit random i thought - anyone else had to do this?

Leaving Self Employment and Universal Credits
cuteypaula1 replied to cuteypaula1's topic in Benefits and HMRC
Hi I will try to make this as short as i can. My husband and i are both self employed but Claim Universal credits. We have a 16 month old baby. Since returning to work after maternity my income has been bad, i barely earn anything despite my efforts....all whilst caring for my baby. My husband only earns around £1000 per month if that. So, my question is, if i decided my business was no longer viable what would happen? I am at a loss as to what to do, i dont want to give up my business but we are struggling and they wont offer any more help -
They said it would be a field officer so assume someone actually from hmrc rather than anywhere else?!
-
i wrote to them again and have called them today, they have the letter but it can take 8 weeks to process!! they still refuse to set up a payment plan and a field officer will visit and i will have to discuss things with them.... .so if hmrc direct wont accept £40 per month, are these officers going to accept less? It seems to make no sense really. What do these field officers actually do?

The SAR form on their website seems to be relating to national insurance, this is for tax, am i missing something somewhere? Sorry, i think i have found it thank you! Have written back to HMRC today so will await their repsonse and hope we dont get any 'visits' in the meantime! Thank you
-
The letter doesnt use the word enforcement anywhere, just debt collection agency, so if we get a letter from them then we will make a monthly offer of payment, just as we did ith HMRC, seems silly really!
-
Actually received the letter later today and it just says we have to pay in full or they will pass to a debt collection agency! Have written them a reply but dont hold any hope for them to care about our situation!

Hi My husband has an old tax bill, he has paid around £1000 back but still owes £1500 I have been acting on his behalf and have had payment plans in place however a few have failed and now they will not accept a payment plan. They said a letter is in the post, i think enforcement was mentioned. We have no money in the bank , no savings, live in a small rented bungalow and our biggest asset is a van my husband owes money to my mum or, he uses it for his business. We are both self employed i have made a loss this month he is averaging only around £500/month at the moment. We have a 1 year old baby. Please, anyone been in the same position, what will they do next?

Leaving Self Employment and Universal Credits
cuteypaula1 replied to cuteypaula1's topic in Benefits and HMRC
Can anyone explain please. For example, a self employed person has a MIF set of £1001 If he earns below this then the UC award is still calculated based on the £1001 If he earns above this then the UC award is calculated based on actual earnings. So....are you telling me that if he earns above £1001 then he will get UC awarded? It makes no sense and google does not clarify - nor do the DWP. If he was earning above £1001 then he likely would not need UC help! -

Going up the wall with this! They finally made adjustments and paid us some money back because they said my husband should have not had a MIF in place, then they retracted that and said he should! Now, i returned to self employment in april after maternity leave, income will be low until i get going again, between my husband and i we have less than £500 this month and they are paying us nothing. i have a MIF of £600 set even though i was told i would not have one as i have a baby....any advice, i cant pay rent , council tax etc -

I did consider it, i havent replied as i simply have not had the time. after your message i asked them about the transisionary period for which i am STILL waiting on a reply from them! My situation has now changed with me returning to work (as above) but nothing makes sense to me, the system is a mess! Once again, apologies didnt reply -
Leaving Self Employment and Universal Credits
cuteypaula1 replied to cuteypaula1's topic in Benefits and HMRC
So my maternity ended on the 5th. i am self employed and will not earn much until i am back up and running. my baby is 7 months old. I had a job centre appt today, they set my MIF at £650 which was shocking. Then an hour later they send me a message saying that is wrong and i will have no MIF set until my baby is one. Can anyone tell me what help i should therefore expect to get. they didnt know what they were doing, no one does and i have no clue if i will be getting any money or not!!! -

My maternity leave ends on Wednesday, I am self employed. My husband is also self employed, we cant survive on his wage and i wont earn much to start with, it will take a while to get established again. We are in the universal credit system but dont get anything from them. I have to call on wednesday and declare my change of circumstances and make a job centre appointment. Worried sick how we are going to pay our rent etc, will they help me, they cant expect me to earn a good wage straight away can they? Any advice appreciated -

cuteypaula1 replied to cuteypaula1's topic in Benefits and HMRC
I have read everything on the net, it makes no sense to not help people who try to generate income but are maybe quiet at the moment and then reward those who earn more. I was hoping someone could just clarify that i am right with this and if he earns over the MIF we will get help!!! Annoyed as we were on working and child tax credits before, nothing changed!! -

Can someone explain this. Husband is self employed and i am on maternity leave (i am self employed too). We put a universal credit claim in and they set him a minimum income floor of £1092. Basically as he earns under that, we get no help. So what if he earns over that? It makes no sense and i want someone to clarify for me -
He is self employed
-
No it wasnt repaid, nothing was mentioned or arranged at the time. After court in 1996, my husband heard nothing until a couple of years ago
-
Well considering this is 20 years ago, it is pretty shocking it wasn't dealt with at the time!
