Dear Sir or Madam,
Could you please advise me the reasons behind the rule that states
that a tax payer wanting to offset expenses against tax has to fill
in a self assessment form?
Can you also please advise me why the staff at Dorchester Enquiry
Office laughed at me when I asked this same question?
Could you also advise me as to what HMRC does with the information
relating to the expenses incurred?
Could you also inform me as to how a tax payer is expected to know
that they need to fill in a self assessment form to abide by this
rule? Who is expected to inform who about this rule and when does
this communication need to take place by.
Yours faithfully,
Justin Oakley

Dear Chance, Teresa (CenPOL),
Contractors pay Payroll Bureau's (PB's) to handle ALL of their Pay
and Tax affairs for the work that they carry out. HMRC issues the
rules and guidance to PB's which must be adhered to by the PB. PB's
are audited by HMRC on a regular basis. If their is any other HMRC
requirement of the contractor then the responsibility lies with the
PB therefore any guidance provided by HMRC to the PB must make
reference to self assessment for contractors who offset more than
£2500 per year against Tax. Contractors are not expected to
research into what other HMRC rules tat they are expected to comply
with, the risk of missing something is too high.
Yours sincerely,
Justin
