P35 P14 Non Trading Company - Help
Discussion
I received a letter from the IR this time last year, asking me to file P35 and P14 employer returns regarding my Limited company.
As my company had not yet traded since its conception 18 months previously, I contacted my local IR office dealing with PAYE (Chichester) by telephone and was told that a non-trading company did not need to file P35 and P14 returns and that "he would make a note on the computer". I was told catagorically that no further communication was needed now that I had contacted them.
Today I have received a Penalty Charge from the IR to the tune of £900 for (£100 per month) for not submitting my P35 and P14 returns to them last year!!
What would you now advise? The local PAYE office (Chichester) has now closed and I am told to telephone an 0845 number, which I have - about 20 times, and it is constantly engaged.

I spoke to a lady at the Edinburgh office as above this morning, she wasn't able to directly help me (as I am Sussex area who now operate through the employee helpline - direct line was 01243 813813 but this is no longer working) but explained that 11,000 of these letters had been sent out many in error.
I have written to them to appeal the charge on Friday so will wait and see what the response is. The have a note on the system that I filed a nil return last year over the phone so hopefully everything will be dandy.
Thanks for the posts above. My first 'brush' with the Inland Revenue. Why do they have to make things so complicated. 0845 numbers that don't work, local area numbers that are no longer in use and so on!
