I had a discovery assessement into 2009/2010 for a scheme I used - I got the DA about 10 years ago, I accept the APN I had to pay in 2015 and that HMRC got to it in time to assess the scheme.
For the same 2009/2010 year I used another scheme that HMRC didn't enquire about or assess.
In fact it wasn't until 2018 when I gave them a list of all my loans. The trust did the same. That's when HMRC knew about the other scheme I used - 8 years after they issued a DA for the first scheme.
They've now issued me with one of their annoying calculations and wording saying "Once HMRC opens an S9A enquiry or S29 Assessment for any year, we can expand it to other areas until it is closed."
Is HMRC really playing by the rules here?
