I will be having a meeting with the Tax Officer concerned once I get home,he is willing to have a face to face to explain.Basically the only thing that will turn this around is a letter from UKPS [banned word] confirming employee status,and as we have had letters from the UKPS [banned word] stating the opposite it will be a cold day in hell before we get that!So Solicitor is suggesting that decisions have already been made in other cases so the chances of overturning this are slim,so no point in throwing good money after bad,pay up.The money has been in limbo anyway so what you cant use is no use anyway!at least the stress of dealing with this nonsense will be gone.Put it down to a bad experience and get on with collecting this years (benefits of a staff posn).
Did I mention that I dont really like UKPS…the Tax Officer concerned is one that UKPS dealt with directly on this issue in sept/oct last year whilst suggesting that we didnt send any more info in while they tried to sort it out..ever get the impression you have been stitched up?
I may or may not post any more as I am sick to the back teeth of this,and of trying to highlight to other agency people the realities of this,too many simply put there head in the sand and qouted the agency line,"its just a couple of folks and it will blow over and not affect you…." well if your head is in the sand it easier for someone to stick it up your…. 🙄
there are already riggers and others under investigation…
