Please can anyone advise.
my husband was referred by a friend to a company that claimed employment expenses for individuals who are employed and on PAYE..
he contacted said company who did indeed claim employment expenses for him through HMRC.
Roll on 4 years later. HMRC have contacted my husband stating the the claim was incorrect and that he would have to pay the money back (Going back as far as 6 years) including interest. He explained that the claim was made through a company, that they had done it and he wasn't aware of anything that shouldn't have been claimed for. He has reported it as fraud, and has a fraud number but hmrc have made it very clear that its his responsibility. Now they want him to pay £3765.32 by 12 August!!
He has explained he cannot afford to pay that and they have told him all he can do is appeal, but whilst the appeal is going through daily interest of 7.5% will be added.
Please please can anyone advise?
Many thank.
