Pointers from tax barristers for advisers inexperienced in representing clients at tribunal hearings

A new client was substantially in arrears with his accounts and tax returns. These have now been brought up to date and returns been prepared for 2007/08 onwards. There is a loss for 2007/08, but HMRC are refusing to repay the payments on account for that year. Can action be taken to recover the tax?
