HMRC have issued an apology noting that the turnaround times for newly self-employed people to register will increase to eight weeks, between now and October 31 2010.
It seems that processing times for paper form 64-8 and registrations for self-assessment will also increase over the next two months.
HMRC staff are being moved to “higher priority work”, hence the delays in processing these forms.
Be very careful during this time to ensure that you are genuinely self employed, whether it be in the construction industry or elsewhere – if in doubt contact us today

So in an effort to simplify the tax position of self employed individuals, the Coalition has announced that they are to review IR35, which in theory is good news. Far too much time and money has been taken up with HMRC pursuing employment status reviews that have led absolutely no where. The latest case being that of Novasoft – it only took a mere 8 years to resolve and guess how it started – readers of this blog will as this employment tax expert has warned about it since it began – that helpful little offer by HMRC to review self employed contracts free of charge. All those people who think they can get something for nothing take heed – this whole case stemmed from an unsuspecting person naively thinking that this was the route to go because of course HMRC are completely impartial aren’t they?
Well a mega lesson has been learnt here – the individual may have finally won but it cost him £’000′s and 8 years of his life – a high price to pay, so where do we go from here – well just be very careful reviews are planned, timescale not mentioned and even worse HMRC are carrying on blindly opening tax investigations into new IR35 cases so if you are concerned about your employment status contact the experts because you don’t want to be the next statistic
