    New IR35 review procedures

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7156303.stm

    This is reserved for cases where HMRC needs to send a strong deterrent message, or where the conduct involved is such that only a criminal sanction is appropriate.

    Under any enquiry HMRC will charge the full amount of tax, and interest on the late paid tax.

    It is possible that the first indication of a criminal prosecution might be a knock at the front door during breakfast.

    The premises will be searched and it is possible that the person under investigation could be arrested and taken for interview under caution by the police.

    Such cases include:

    where the individual holds a position of trust or responsibility
    second offenders
    disguised employees (IR35)
    deliberate concealment and cases involving false or forged documents.
    Those cases may be prosecuted with a view to a jail sentence rather than the imposition of a civil penalty.

        "I must not fear.
        Fear is the mind-killer.
        Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
        I will face my fear.
        I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
        And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
        Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
        Only I will remain."
        Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

          yes, yet more of a freedoms taken away from us. Looks like now HMRC (not just Customs & Excise) will be able to kick your door down or at least make demands to enter your premises as of April 2009 (ok if you obstruct I think they have the 'right' to charge you £60 per day after the point of obstruction).

          I mean, I've got nothing to hide and any correspondance can be done via mail / solicitors so what on earth is this new law about ??

              It's dark humour at its best: £billions spent on Iraq & Afghanistan; £billions spent on the Olympic Games; £billions spent on dole-scrounging scum and other toerag offal; £billions/£trillions? on the Great Brown Rescue; and now a Gestapo-like "You can expect a knock on the door in the early hours." warning for folk in work during an economic crisis. Please tell me I am in a coma and simply dreaming.
