JOHN PRICE FCA suggests that Customs need to show some more understanding in their business relationships with small traders.
I SEE SERIOUS mistakes in how Customs handle their relationship with traders who they suspect of dishonesty. I have been defending a client since August 2003 against a VAT civil dishonesty penalty for supposedly paying central assessments and failing to submit returns showing the larger sums due. I believe I have found fundamental flaws both in Customs' behaviour and in their paperwork and feel that I must publicise them.
