It may have been mentioned before, but there really is a problem with the HMRC system with regard to the Notice to file Returns.
All my clients HMRC records show that a notice was issued on 6th April.
None of my clients have received this notice, and some have delayed getting paperwork to me pending receipt of the notice.
Today I have been contacted by 3 ex clients who have received a notice to file.
The first ceased self-employment 4 years ago and has since worked on PAYE
The second ceased 2 years ago to work on PAYE
The third retired last year.
I am no longer acting for them.
With regard to the client who ceased 4 years ago, last year I telephoned the dedicated Agent helpline and the adviser said he could not understand why this was happening, but leave it with him and he would resolve it. However, he did say as the notice had been issued a return was required.
Has anyone managed to get HMRC to agree that a return is not required once the notice has been issued?
