Being paid Offshore and CSA

Light_Speed_Cruiser

If the CSA need to prove a document is served on a defendant then the only way is to use a Process Server, otherwise a defendant can say he didnt receive the document.

If you need to show a document was not properly served then you need a signed tenancy agreement showing a different address and a landlord willing to back it up, the court will have no choice but strike out the CSA's claim under s7 of the Interpetation Act 1978.

Problem is with that, I am not at the address where the documents have been sent to. I can prove that part.

Living with friends/ mother is harder to prove.

I work in the offshore oil and gas industry (for a Canadian company) and it makes not the blindest bit of difference for taxation purposes.

I have quite a few friends who work for Dutch and Norwegian oil companies and they are taxed at the UK 20 and 40% tax rates like everyone else aswell. I doubt he gets paid in Norwegian currency, nor would he want to, their tax burden is heavier than ours, so he will be paying UK taxation and will be liable for CSA.

Find out the name of the company he works for and just let the CSA know, he will be easily tracked through his HR dept. Oil companies are massive, employees cannot hide like they can do in small companies.

He has probably stated that he has no P60 purely because he's probably never physically received it, but that doesn't mean that it does not exist in his payroll dept, either that or he's trying to throw you off the scent hoping you'll believe him.

Then the legal position (seek advice) is the documents have not been properly served. If you have not received notification of a decision then the time limit starts from the date the CSA can prove you received it.

Don't try using S.7 of the Interpretation Act with the CSA, keep it up your sleeve for the tribunal and get the case out of the CSA's hands as quickly as possible. Always use the route that makes you the most money.

If the tribunal decision proves the CSA has breached an Act of Parliament or has been fraudulent in some way then you can transfer up to the Administrative Court and claim damages.

Problem is they have been passed onto me, as the actual tennant was scared of baliffs arriving. I then had to seek advice from a solcitor.

I've requested data protection files and a financial breakdown.

The latter today arrived today and it was very basic. Still waiting all the DP files.
