Hmrc want me to withdraw my set aside order ?

Also, our business closed two years ago, we made zero rated goods, so no vat was due to be paid but we were entitled to reclaim Vat. the 16,000 is the amount we reclaimed in VAT over 6 years. we have all of our records and an accountant ready to go, but HMRC have delayed, lied and failed to come out and visit for two years now.

I will highlight about my accountant submitting my return. And ensuring it is right. I also had a business that I closed two years ago. I closed it VAT, and it’s account etc at that time.

Ignorance is bliss.

Pay your Tax.

We!!!8217;ve definitely been denied the right to appeal, and under the Human rights act been denied the right to a fair trial. The only reason I think we triggered a compliance visit was I didn!!!8217;t de-register property. Our accountant is really frustrated with them too, he has what they want, they just don!!!8217;t seem to want to sort it out!

Cutting a very very long story short, HMRC claim I owe them 28k in VAT and penalties. The absolute incompetence of these people astounds me. They sent demands for records to the wrong address 2 years ago, and when we didn’t comply raise an assessment against me and charged 70% penalty. When i logged in and saw it, well the next year was spent trying to get them to fix the error, them promising they would and promising to stop the debt collection process which they didn’t. eve i’ve complained twice, had the complaint upheld and wa paid £100. They say they can’t do anything about it. finally got an officer to come out to see our records and on the very same day someone served us a statutory demand!
So i applied to the court to have it set aside, sent all the evidence and correspondence, really didn’t have any hope it’d work as I hear it’s rare to get one set aside, but thankfully a hearing date got sent through! So fast forward to yesterday and I have a Caseworker from HMRC practically hounding me to go to the court and withdraw the order! She says she can sort it all out for me, something i’ve heard every hmrc dept say a million times. she apologised and said the stat demand was made in error?!
I guess my question is, should i do this for them and why on earth are they so desperate for me to do it. When i told her i’d have to speak to my husband she said no problem but could i phone her back at 7.30 am next morning!

For the record

Again, it’s reclaimed tax. We were selling zero rated goods. No Vat is due. They sent requests to the wrong address repeatedly, then raised the assessment and penalties. They later admitted this mistake and have delayed and delayed in sorting it out. I found this when I came to enter a self assessment and I have chased them for two years to get them to sort this out. I’m supposed to just let them make me bankrupt without fighting?

Clearly you don’t understand that my original question was, If HMRC have issued a statutory demand, and I have been successful in getting a set aside order, why are they begging me to withdraw it so that they can “sort it out” for me

.... This was an error by HMRC, they raised an assessment for 6 years worth of returns (that had been filled in on time correctly every quarter) and then have failed to correct it despite admitting they made the mistake.

I don't know why Blackbeard can't see you have behaved in the same way as him, but you have been subjected to the wrath of hmrc for no reason.

I suspect that reclaiming VAT is a different department. They've obviously made mistakes and now want them brushed over, probably in order to meet internal standards. I wouldn't withdraw; in fact when the case is done and dusted I would make a complaint.
