    Funnily enough I have received a request from Hmrc in the last couple of weeks to submit a return for 2018/19.

    I've contacted Gilbert Tax for advice, waiting for one of their tax advisers to get back to me.
    I believe the deadline for submitting the return is 1 October 2020.

    You'll have to make a decision fairly soon. Your 3 choices are:

    (1) Press ahead with the Vanquish arrangement, and state on your return that the loans were repaid before 5 Apr 2019
    (2) Pay the loan charge. You can spread this across 3 tax years, and you can pay by installments over several years (time to pay)
    (3) Settle. You may be too late to do this but, if you would prefer to settle, it's worth asking. This would mean paying tax (+ interest) on the loans as though they were income in the years you received them. Like the loan charge, you can pay by installments over several years.

    If you decide to do (1), prepare yourself for a legal dispute because I can guarantee HMRC won't accept that the loans have been legitimately repaid. I don't know whether Vanquish are still around to defend the arrangement. You'd need to contact them about this.

    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

      Thanks for the advice.

      Vanquish Options are liquidated according to companies House.

        This is standard modus operandi for tax schemes. Sell it and then exit the scene before the chickens come home to roost.
