Saara Idelbi secures withdrawal by HMRC of a personal penalty

Saara Idelbi secures the withdrawal by HMRC of a personal penalty that had been issued to a Director of a plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation company, pursuant to section 69C of the Value Added Tax Act 1994. Personal penalty notices are issued where HMRC consider the individual knew, or ought to have known, that a transaction was connected with the fraudulent evasion of VAT by another person.

Saara worked closely with Helen Cummings at Jurit LLP and Craig Tully at Gilbert Tax in pursuing and preparing the Director’s appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, that persuaded HMRC to withdraw its decision.
