The level of the claims is estimated to range from £5 billion to £8.5 billion, but is anyone getting their money back?
Well it is always good to know that right at the front of the queue in submitting claims were the Labour Party, with a claim of £2.15m (and £2.45m interest thereon), but wait for it, this was in relation to staff expenses!! Better than that is to know that they have been one entity to submit their claim and actually have it paid so far.
I think from our experience we are seeing many of the much smaller claims finding it harder to get their money from Customs quite that quickly!
If you have submitted a claim and are either, being asked for information that is impossible to produce considering the time scales (some claims date right back to 1973), or indeed struggling for even an acknowledgment from HMRC then I am sure these experiences would be interesting to share........

I have a Fleming claim for which HMRC have verablly accepted that there is a valid basis for a claim and that the fgures submitted appear reaonsable - however, we are now being asked to provide further evidence of how the figures were arrived at. Providing evidence to support the evidence?
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what we are finding - if the claim is not rejected outright, the method of how you calculated the figures will be analysed. Any reason they can find to reject or reduce the claim is being sought.... Do let us know whether the claim is paid.
