In January this year I filed my tax return and paid the tax for 2010/11 and a payment on account for the 2011/2012 tax year, and am putting money aside for a further payment on account in July of this year. A couple of weeks ago I received a letter from HMRC saying that the tax for 2010/11 would be included in the bankruptcy and telling me to file a paper tax return by October 2011 and issuing a new tax reference number. Clearly the letter came about 9 months too late (dated 6th Feb 2012) to file the paper return. I've spoken to HMRC who told me to speak to the receiver which I have done. The receiver has now written to HMRC asking if they can claim the tax paid. 2 questions. Firstly, can the receiver lay claim to this money now? This is more for curiosity as even if they couldn't legally, morally I feel obliged to let them have it as it will go toward the creditors. Secondly, do I have any claim against HMRC for sending the letter so late? [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
