    I have paid the fines and submitted my appeal. I shall report back when I get a response from HMRC.

    ceiberman; If they had sent me correspondence before the penalty notice, I expect they would have referenced this.

    Regardless of what the HMRC webpage says, there is NO LEGAL OBLIGATION for a company director to submit a SA tax return.

    If HMRC instruct you to do one, then you, like anyone else, has to complete and submit one.

    There has been a lot of comment about this on other forums (such as accountingweb) and the conclusion is always that the underlying Act of Parliament DOESN'T place any legal obligation on a director to complete a SA return per se.

    So, forget the directors bit - it's a red herring.

    If you really didn't receive a tax return or a notice to complete, then you've got grounds for appeal and almost certainly will be successful.

    Pennywise,

    Thank you so much for your advice:A.
    I am very pleased to report HMRC have accepted my appeal :j >

    Brilliant news - just goes to show it's worth appealing against HMRC when you know you're in the right!

    Even without your encouragement I would have appealed, but without the information provided by you I may not have been successful.

    Many Thanks
