      No I don't have the scheme DOTAS number. You should be able to retrieve this from your self assessment.

        So with a DOTAS number, presumably there is strong reasoning that Discovery assessments are invalid / unlawful, since HMRC were aware of the scheme?

          That is a dangerous assumption which I would get confirmed by a tax specialist as opposed to an online forum.

              DOTAS Number

              If the individual doesn't have a DOTAS number and did not put it on their tax return then clearly HMRC would have a discovery if they didn't raise and enquiry within the appropriate enquiry windows.

              Equally however the presence of a DOTAS number would not necessarily preclude HMRC making a discovery if the return did not mention tax relevant matters. However you would also need to consider the recent Upper Tribunal case of CRC v Charlton, Corfield & another [2012] UK FTT 770 where the Upper Tribunal found against HMRC and confirmed, for different reasons, (i.e. not the presence of a DOTAS number) the decision of the First-tier Tribunal that HMRC were not entitled to make discovery assessments under section 29 (discovery provisions).

              We might of course expect HMRC to seek to appeal that decision - but time will tell

                  I have never been asked to fill in a tax return since I started working, but they still came up with a figure to levy against me. Does anyone know if there is any group action being formed or is in place to finance the battle ahead ?
