Will corruption in HMRC be fully investigated by the Government?
Bosses within Her Majestys Revenue and Customs have made concessions towards Vodafone and other huge firms over their tax liabilities following lunch dates between the bosses and companies.
The outcome is that these companies have had billions of tax liabilities waived and the Hmrc bosses have been paid record bonuses.Many Hmrc stall have received honours in the New Years Honours list.
With small firms being persecuted out of business by this same agency, can we expect a full investigation into these inconsistent activities, and huge bonuses paid to the perpetrators?
Or a whitewash?
Answer: No.Big companies ,banks and the rich transfer billions over seas to off shore tax havens and use tax loopholes to avoid taxes or do private deals with government officials.This corruption is common place in the UK.By doing nothing about it the government encourage this corruption.People in the UK are dying from cold and hunger to subsidise these activities but that is not enough the government has to borrow billions so this can continue.If riots come to London during the Olympic games to highlight this obscenity I would not be surprised.I do not agree with riots but the government obviously ignore peaceful protests.

I know I need to fill out a form downloaded from Companies House. but what do I do with my business bank account? I still have a few hundreds in my business account, can I take them out? also How to I advise Hmrc about my business closing?
Thanks!
Answer: When I sold my business I was advised to keep the business bank account open for a few months. You need to advise the VAT people so they can send you a final return. You write to Hmrc with details of your business telling them that you have ceased trading.
You need to keep your accounts and paperwork for 7 years as you can be invesigated at any time.

MSB that is already registered with HMRC to register with the FSA?
Hi,
Is there any requirement for an MSB that is already registered with Hmrc to register with the FSA? If so, what are the conditions and requirements?
B
Answer: What's MSB? Registration with Hmrc has absolutely nothing to do with the FSA requirements so whatever the MSB is, if it's involved in financial matters, it almost certainly will have to register separately. Unless you mean the Food Standards Agency.

Can I borrow money from friends and family for a large deposit without HMRC getting involved?
Can I borrow money from friends and family for a large deposit on a house/business premises?
I can get a mortgage but I dont have money for a deposit, so HOW can I show to Hmrc in UK that friend and family have borrowed money or given money to me as a gift and also legit. So i can put it down as a deposit, which is going to be a large sum? Does Hmrc have to know?
Answer: The only thing anybody will ask you about is where the deposit is coming from i.e savings or loan.If it was a loan then this may effect the amount of mortgage you can get but if you can prove it is a gift from family and not money laundering then that should be ok.The amount a family member (usually a parent) can gift annually to a son or daughter is fixed at a certain amount (not sure what it is) to avoid your paying tax on it.
Most rules are really to avoid money laundering so look into this carefully to avoid pitfalls.
If you are borrowing this money,can you afford a mortgage and repayment of these other loans?
It may pay you to consider rental until your Business proves it is viable.

Can anyone pls tell me how long does it take for HMRC to pay back business mileage allowance claim?
I have never claimed my business mileage but been driving for the last four years. Can I back date my application using the same P87? And How long does it take for the Hmrc to actually process the application & refund the money? Do they ask for any additional documents if the claim is about £1000 per year? Thanks.
Answer: You will need a separate form P87 for each year, and go back six years.
Hmrc has targets of 28 days to reply to correspondence. But it depends on staffing levels (minimal everywhere these days) and office workstate. Then any cheque gets sent out by 2nd class post.
