Employment Law Question - Stephen?

[MondeoST24]

I wonder if anyone could offer me any advice on this situation.

 

I have an unpaid tax bill going back to 2002/2003 which the tax man is now pestering for. It relates to a P11d company car benefit from a previous employer.

 

Now the reason i'm not paying it is I never had a company car in that period. I've written numerous letters to my local tax office about it, so has my accountant and all they will say is I need to take it up with the previous employer as its them who issued the P11d in the first place.

 

I have contacted employer who say as far as we can tell you did have car so we're going to do absolutely nothing about it. Tough!

 

Accountant says he hasn't come accross this before as normally P11d copies are issued to employees before they are sent to inland revenue and you're supposed to dispute it there and then, this didn't happen with me though, all I ever recieved was P60's then finally P45 upon redundancy. Accountant says he doesn't think theres much I can do about it, personally I think he just cant be bothered with it for £800, I am bothered about it though both for the £800 and out of principle.

 

The previous employer is a vehicle finance company, what makes me laugh is during that time I had two personal vehicles on HP with them ! Why would I do that if I had access to a company car?

 

So i'm at a loss what to do, accountant cant/wont help, inland revenue cant/wont help, employer cant/wont help.

 

I was considering paying the tax then going to small claims against employer, but have no real evidence either way. Its my word against theirs.

I have never ever been shown a P11d prior to receipt of P60, P11d is P.A.Y.E. work sheet.

If you had a company car then surely your previous employer should have some proof, or paperwork to say that you had the use of it during that time. In my own experience i too used to have a company then didn't, all i did was ring the tax office and tell them, have you tried speaking to someone higher up the chain at the inland revenue to see if they can hel.

 

Don't know if that helps at all
