I am undergoing a HMRC check on my expenses as a self-employed person.
Following checks back in 1991 the expenses being claimed were finally agreed on following what was wholly and exclusively for the trade. Following on, another check was undertaken in 2008 and the inspector at the time apart from a very minor debate over one item of equipment of very little value agreed on the continuing business claims. There have been no additional new expenses claim and the ones previously agreed on which have remained in my mind legitimate expenses.
Roll forward to 2018 and a new check but this time the HMRC person is trying to disallow considerably more than I think is justified. My accountant is fighting my corner as am I, but the persistence of the man is wearing my patience thin.
What I can’t get my head around is nothing expenses wise being claimed has changed and he refuses to acknowledge the previous inspector’s decision saying he has the right to disallow anything previously considered by other inspectors.
Does anyone know of any tribunal cases where something similar has been challenged?
