  • Kelloggs: You could be right, the CSA says I was paying a singer and my bookkeeper/PA to reduce liability and I was in a relationship with them. My PA holds a letter of authority enabling her to act on my behalf with all my financial affairs but the CSA chose not to accept this insisting on being put through to me. I could not speak with the CSA because I found them devious and evasive, it appears the CSA did this beauce I have a PA answer my phone and sign my letters per procurationem. I dont know if this is a departure, more a decision I am reducing liability by channeling money through tour staff.

    I understood liability was 30% of taxable income as shown on my certified business accounts. If this is is a departure, how does that change anything? In my opinion its fraud because the CSA wrote a false statement about me to obtain a unlawful money transfer.

    Herbie21, the CSA said I am out of time to appeal and make tribunal, if a right to appeal does exist then I can claim concealment. I havn't spoken to NACSA, only a couple of solicitors. I think NACSA is self-help rather than legal representation, I prefer a session before a magistrate than months of protacted correspondence with the CSA.

    Never realised kids were so expensive, 37k for 2 kids in 7 years

    What £1850 per year each? Expensive!!! Can you imagine how much their mother has had to pay to keep and feed them!

    It does tend to be self help but they can advise you regarding the ins and outs.
  • It might be worth a shot then. Digging the paperwork found some interesting comments, is this normal for the CSA?

    The data protection file says the CSA noted my circumstances were "dubious" and my ex told them I lived a "playboy" lifestyle and working as an itinerant holiday park entertainer and paying my entourage including my "girlfriend" high sums of money. The CSA disapproved of me driving a tour itinerary in an "expensive" American style RV. The CSA noted they said to me by telephone a lorry can transport stage-props and equipment to shows and I can live in fixed accommodation. My Ex told the CSA my accountant is laundering money because he lived in Guernsey and registered the company and its bank account there. My ex also told the CSA I am "disposing of assets" because I gave my grown-up sons from my first marriage a house each (I inherited).

    I didnt know the CSA has a policy allowing opinionation. There is no mention she also got a freehold house at my expense and a solicitor commented she used the CSA to get a free meal ticket.

    Liability is not necessarily 30% of net income - which is not the same as your taxable income for tax purposes - their rules are different.
  • Then the CSA can levy on turnover? Is there any legislation I can look at?

    No they can't levy on turnover, but their allowances are different to the Inland Revenue's for example you cannot claim any allowance for depreciation of vehicles or machinary.
  • and hence the CSA not happy with me working from an RV and hiring singers and stage props.

    What exactly ARE the rules? is there a rulebook in whats in and whats not?

    There is a expert on MSE that can help you with this and a section for CSA.

    You need to send pm to NACSA CHAIR.

    NACSA are a firm that will look at an assessment and see whether the figures are correct and will even assist will appeals. We have many good reports of them and they are a frequent poster in the CSA section.

    Have you contacted NACSA CHAIR as I am certain that she will know the answer to this one.
