Re: Sara2 UE Diary
I wouldnt include anything just yet, but whether you was able to manage other comitments is irelevent.
HMRC always bang on about whats considered reasonable, they always ignore the facts and reply with the same nonsense lines.
Your appeal should include examples of what you consider reasonable excuses, such as, what was going on in your life at the time. This will play a big part, so go in to detail about what was happening, hardship, money issues, business not working, receiving no income, husband out of work etc.
How you was not in any fit state to remember to file tax returns for which no tax was due, and as you had received no income, filing nil tax returns was the last thing on your mind due to the above reasons.
Also state, given the fact no tax was due for these years, you believe the penalties should be waved.
You have since filed tax returns for all years outstanding.
You should get a reply within a month or 2, if you do not, then you need to send a chaser letter, it took us a year for a client once during the appeals process because they didnt bother to respond, so keep an eye on it.
If they reject your appeal i will explain how to format your next letter to pass it to an independant ajudicator.
