Now the details have come out he completely failed to declare any income but remembered to declare the tax paid. <br /><br /><i>"Ok I've read the story and as far as I can see he completed a Self Assessment return understating his tax due or over stating his tax paid by £2000. It was determined by HMRC compliance staff that this was deliberate, not careless, and he was fined £1400. Those are the facts of the case without any opinion one way or the other. The rest is just one sided opinion without any facts.<br /><br />If he and the accountants quoted think they have a case why not just appeal instead of going to the press? If they are going to use the press why not give all of the details of the case? Could it be that it was clearly an attempt at tax evasion and no appeal, to any court, had a chance of success? Example - Every year Mr Smith forgets to declare the £100,000 he earns from job 1. In November he is reminded this needs to be included in his next Return that he submits in December. He "forgets" again and claims a refund he knows he is not due. He is then told to amend the Return by the compliance staff dealing with the enquiry into his Returns. He is then fined a penalty based on 35%-70% of the undeclared amount because it was deliberate and he had to be prompted to correct it."</i><br /><br />Since he is unlikely to make that mistake again is this an example of the penalty system actually working?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-151590125137739792010-04-16T22:22:02.518+01:002010-04-16T22:22:02.518+01:00Can I just say that the story is very mislleading ...Can I just say that the story is very mislleading in it's wording. It actually transpires that the 'Innocent' gentleman in question filled in his self assessment tax return stating that he had suffered £3000 worth of CIS deductions but neglected to fill in any actual income figures and was therefore refunded the full amount. I'm quite taken aback at his belief that he need not include income figures certainly the return makes no mention of omitting these figures. When HMRC came to review the return the omission was noticed and corrected, it appears that the gentleman took the money and never queried it. As the police would say ignorance is no excuse, I side with HMRC in this instance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
