What's the point?<br /><br />The comments made so far indicate that this person is an agent who has no intention of submitting his clients tax returns on time even if they don't have any income that HMRC is aware of, with a view to carrying a specific case to tribunal stage so that a precedent is set whereby HMRC is scared to ask for any self assessment returns even when information is available that suggests HMRC is entitled to ask for a return.<br /><br />It would make accountants lives far easier if HMRC is strangled at both ends when it comes to requesting informationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-14917672294860845332012-01-10T14:41:27.023+00:002012-01-10T14:41:27.023+00:00@20.44

The simple fact of the matter is that the law says if you've been sent a return then you need to send it back.<br /><br />The law has been changed this year so that even if you don't owe anything then you still get charged the £100.<br /><br />However, if you were unemployed all of last year all you need to do is put the taxable amount on your return.<br /><br />Stop victimising yourselves. If you've ceased self employment, but the date you ceased in a box on the self employment page. <br /><br />How difficult is this? Fill in a box on the self employment page giving the date that you ceased. There's even a box on the return which asks you this.<br /><br />If you've stopped renting property, tick the box on the property page.<br /><br />There have been enough communications about it to the people who file by paper or online, if they choose to ignore it then that's their problem. <br /><br /><br />Which other department would you get away such a stupid excuse apply that people thought something that says quite clearly "you are required by law" wouldn't apply to them? "Sorry guv I thought the 10'3" sign was just a guideline, it's all the DfT's fault my bus got ripped in half".<br /><br />"Sorry I thought that if I had JSA I could still work, they should have told me that the dole was only for people out of work".<br /><br />"Sorry I thought that 1L of spirits was an average".<br /><br />"Sorry I thought 'avoid London airspace' meant I could fly my private jet through kensington, islington and dartford and it only applied to the city of London".<br /><br />"Sorry but I know this land registry print says I don't own this land - but I thought I'd build a conservatory in it anyway".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-84924504818871820932012-01-09T21:07:47.137+00:002012-01-09T21:07:47.137+00:009 January 2012 17:57
