    HMRC help required please?

    Folks I will not go into all the details here (this is very long and protracted saga) Summary: I am and always have been PAYE. I was contacted (out of the blue) by HMRC who told me that I owed them a substantial amount of "back tax" as a result of me accepting an incorrect tax code in 2007...

    HMRC want a billion off Bernie.

    Allegedly, he didn't give them all the fact when they came to an arrangement with him and so they are looking at getting a billion quid out of him. They started digging after bribery allegations were dropped with a 'Ere yer 'onour, 'ow much to make it all go away then? I don't like HMRC any...

    HMRC & Police raids on illicit alcohol shops

    Now, call me a simple soul, but if I was planning to raid premises in the hope of catching suplliers and retailers of dodgy booze, I may be tempted to keep my mouth shut until after the raids...? BBC News - Customs raids target shops selling counterfeit alcohol

    The wonderful world of HMRC

    Well i would not rely on this but sounds very much like HMRC: "My thanks to a loyal reader, who wrote to me about the experience of a chum of his who runs a large vehicle recovery firm. This company has often been used by HMRC to uplift (tow away) vehicles which had been "dipped" (to test...

    HMRC shaft drivers yet again - tell me news!

    HM Revenue & Customs: Company cars - advisory fuel rates from 1 December 2010 Despite VAT rising to 20% in January, the new HMRC fuel rates for use of own car for work remain unchanged! Well not strictly true, the diesel rate has been cut by 1p - anyone seen any cheaper diesel lately?

    HM R&C are a flamin' shower...

    HMRC has reviewed the Advisory Fuel Rates that copmpanies pay to reimburse employees using company cars for work. NB: This is not the Fixed Profit Car Scheme (although hopefully that will follow). The last 12 months has seen fuel prices increase by 25% and so, HMRC has announced that, with...

    Nasty email scam - HMRC

    Got wind of this at work as some of our staff have been targetted. Might catch one or two here out too. Some folk in *** have received emails purporting to come from HMRC telling them that they are entitled to a tax rebate. Well, they aint entitled. It’s a scam that leads to a bogus HMRC...
