Tax does have to be taxing.
Tax Investigation Insurance
Having a Solar Protect Tax Investigation Insurance policy at your disposal means that should you be one of the many 1000's of businesses or individuals that are selected by HMRC each year to look into your tax affairs your own accountant (your tax return agent) can get on and defend you robustly.
You have the peace of mind knowing that your accountant's (your tax return agent) fees will be paid by the insurance without any Excess for you to find.
Tax Investigation Insurance is an insurance policy that will fully reimburse your accountants (your tax return agent) fees up to £100,000 if you are subject to enquiry by or dispute with HMRC.
A Solar Protect policy will enable your Accountant (your tax return agent) to:
- Deal with any correspondence from HMRC
- Attend any meeting with HMRC
- Appeal to the First-tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal
- Having the security of knowing that fees will be met in full will enable your Accountant (your tax return agent) to defend your position robustly

Going a little off topic, the HMRC website shows that letter sent to them on the 01/12/2021 regarding an amendment to a return should receive a reply by the 18/05/2022. Whatever happened to the 10 day reply promise? Very senior management should be being sacked for this.
ReplyDeleteOff topic. I understand that HMRC has now equipped their Field Force staff with BMW electric cars?
ReplyDelete- Are these cars suitable for the majority of staff who are overweight or obese?
- What measures have been put instituted to mitigate the risk of the 'less than honest' staff using these vehicles for private purposes?
- The sustainability goals are laudable and to that end, I would ask; why has greater use of public transport not been considered?
Debt management are limiting the face-to-face visits they undertake, preferring to make phone calls from home. Full of spineless, covid betwetters
DeleteI asked you on another thread where your evidence of HMRC staff being overweight came from. You did not respond and went missing from the thread.
DeleteYou are as sad and deranged as Mr I Have Evidence of HMRC Crimes.
Your comment regarding public transport suggests that you have spent little time outside of major towns and cities.
How can expensive BMW electric cars, however green they might be (greener than petrol cars but far from perfect), be justified as cost-effective for HMRC's Field Force staff?
DeleteNo wonder the government are having to put up NI, which will affect the lowest paid most of all, when public sector organisations are still wasting huge sums of taxpayers' money! Cut the waste and then cut the taxes!
Do you know how much HMRC paid for the cars? BMW have an authorities section that supply cars to police, government departments, NCA, and of course HMRC. The prices paid are nowhere near what you would pay, and are a good use of resources.
DeleteNow please now go and complain to the police about their patrolling around in BMW's and not Vauxhall Corsa's.
Please research what you complain about, otherwise you look like a bit of a t*t.
HMRC's operational needs and objectives differ greatly from those of the police and so it's not a great comparison. Apples and pears springs to mind...
DeleteIn the police force that I used to serve, operational response officers do drive various budget Vauxhall and Ford vehicles. BMWs are only used by the roads policing and firearms ops teams.
You are correct to say that BMW, as with other motor manufacturers, do offer discounts for bulk purchases from any customers, which tend to predominately be public sector bodies. However, even taking account of that 'discounted' price, it is difficult to justify the expense of BMW vehicles for tax office staff.
After all, they are only chasing late payments etc from small businesses. As we saw during the pandemic, when they hid indoors for over a year, if their work was not carried out, the Treasury would not notice. Field Force collects less annually than HMRC disgracefully lost to Covid scheme fraud in 2020-21.
Anyone concerned about HMRC wasting taxpayers' money should be encouraged to complain to their MP.
Any views from Loan Charge Victims?
ReplyDeleteIs Carol Bristow the right person to be leading on this?
If not, what should happen to her role at HMRC - should she be sacked or redeployed?
Any thoughts on her being recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2021?
All this fuss about Boris Johnson at the moment...
ReplyDeleteThe real corruption is at HMRC!!!
Quite agree.
DeleteThe noise directed at Boris is coming from the far left and the covid lockdown lovers upset about him relaxing rules.
It would be better if the media looked at the casual corruption across the civil service - did anyone else notice that these government parties appear to have been mainly organised and attended by civil servants - and forensically focus on the bullying and misconduct at HMRC.
Criticism of Johnson is not exclusively from the left. Many of us on the right recognise that he is an entitled,sociopathic,compulsive liar.
DeleteMany so-called 'civil servants'in Downing Street are not civil servants in the traditional sense. They are advisors parachuted in directly from Conservative Central Office or privately funded think tanks, who therefore have no concept of, or interest in,Civil Service impartiality.
I am sure that the media would show much more interest in "misconduct" at HMRC if those with evidence of criminality commenced legal proceedings. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
Meantime, with senior HMRC staff blocking referral of those who admitted breaking data protection laws to Internal Governance, the public should not trust HMRC with their data.
DeleteIf they have admitted breaking laws it should be easy for the police to commence action against them. Once you have informed the police, of course.
Delete@16.52. Nice of you to tar all HMRC employees as corrupt. And we all know Boris is a liar and corrupt, except for a lot of Tory voters who support him still.
ReplyDeleteNow there is the meaning of corrupt.
