Tasks to carry out in the office this week

HMRC have urged advisers to staple together forms 64-8 relating to the same client, to prevent the documents becoming separated.

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?
