Want to learn more about the Card Payments Campaign before arranging your free consultation? There's lots of useful information on this page covering:
HMRC's new Card Transaction disclosure scheme allows businesses that accept card payments and have not reflected all transactions in a return, to bring their tax affairs up to date and take advantage of the best possible terms.
They are looking at businesses:
HMRC will be using its legal powers to obtain details of debit and credit card transactions from the companies that process those transactions. HMRC is using this, and other data it holds to identify those businesses who have failed to declare all or part of this income and this will be used after the campaign to track down any people who have not voluntarily disclosed.
You don't need to have been contacted by HMRC to take part. You can still take part as long as your circumstances are covered by the bullets above.
Those wanting to take part in the card transaction programme will need to:
To benefit from the reduced penalties offered, HMRC will take account of the level to which you've helped them and the accuracy of the information you have provided.
Gilbert Tax can assist you with the process and prepare the disclosure for you, call us on 0800 734 3333. Whether the errors were due to misunderstanding the rules or deliberately avoiding paying the right amount of tax, it's better to tell HMRC and admit any failures and or inaccuracies rather than wait until they uncover those errors.
HMRC say that the Card Transaction Programme offers the best possible terms available to get your tax affairs in order. It is likely that you will have to pay a penalty but if you do make a voluntary disclosure under the scheme it is likely that the penalty will be lower than if HMRC contact you about undisclosed liabilities.
If you don't come forward under the scheme then HMRC will most likely consider that you have been deliberately evading tax and will consider imposing higher penalties and may consider prosecution.
Gilbert Tax has extensive experience of dealing with all manner of HMRC disclosure schemes and will work with you to establish the correct amount of tax due whilst preparing a disclosure that aims to secure the lowest possible penalty. We also have extensive experience of negotiating time to pay arrangements for clients who are unable to pay their tax liabilities in full and these sort of payment arrangements can be discussed openly with HMRC to avoid financial difficulties.
To discuss making a disclosure in confidence please call us on 0800 734 3333.
