We want to add a section on dotas-scandal.org with testimonies of normal people (the « non high net worth » type - I assume the overwhelming majority of us on here) caught in this charade.
One of the concepts of BIG GROUP is to present an alternative technical analysis to HMRC’s.
The idea here is to present an alternative narrative to what HMRC has been force-feeding the public over the past two years.
What we are after is write-ups from individuals explaining how having an APN (or multiple APNs) or being targeted for an APN affects them (and family) personally. The immediate financial consequences, the consequences on their ability to plan for the future, the uncertainty of it all, the stress it causes, etc. We did that in a speculative manner last year when writing to MPs, now that this is all hitting in earnest, we can talk about the REAL, PRESENT impact on our lives – personal and professional.
Also, why you got into a DOTAS structure in the first place, if relevant. Did you move from Ltd. Co to DOTAS structure on the advice on an accountant re IR35 ? etc.
Finally, how the actual handling by HMRC of the APN regime has caused or is causing you distress. Did HMRC send you a APN with a completely wrong amount? A reminder with an amount different from the APN ? did they send unwarranted threat letters ? etc.
Testimonies will be anonymized, and a secondary objective of all this is to make those testimonies part of a press kit for a media campaign.
Please direct yours to info AT dotas dash scandal dot org if you are ready to participate.
Thanks
