    Any update from anyone?
    I put my self assessment in and declared I had a loan. No response so far.

      As per many statements made in public by HMRC and repeated by advisers here and pretty much everywhere, given the extended deadlines for reporting loan values via the SATR, to 30th September 2020, the chance of any substantive response from HMRC before then is very low.

      If you are impacted here, you need to do some research of your own and pay attention to what is going on.

      Relying on others to do this for you could end up in similar sort of situation as the original loan schemes.

        Thanks, I understand and agree.
        I have been researching but 10 people researching and sharing knowledge is always better than one so I'm just looking for anyone elses thoughts on this.

        Thanks.

          Update

          Do anyone have any updated on the Pembroke situation, what is the outcome with the way they where set up?

          I know they are no longer but what is the outcome and damage for the people that used them?

          I used them for a short period of time in 18-19 and i have now been asked by a department in side the HMRC to fill a SA for the year ending 19?

          Anyone have any information for me would be much appreciated

                  When you used Pembroke some of you income was paid via PAYE, some was paid to you without tax deducted (as a loan)

                  HMRC are chasing up the money that you received where tax was not deducted at source.

                  Sadly this will also not be the end of the issue. Pembroke is in the process of being liquidated - which means the liquidator may ask you to repay the money you received as a loan.

                  Yes - it is completely unfair that HMRC can treat the money as income while someone else can treat the money as a loan but that is because HMRC are looking at the money sent from the agency that employed you and the liquidator is just looking at the company's business model and seeing money that can be reclaimed.

                  So I'm sorry to say that the letter from HMRC is probably correct - worse it may not be the full amount depending on how much HMRC received and there may be fines involved as this should have been sorted out before September (if you explain what happens the fines will probably be removed but you will need to ask).
