Hi Andrew Lynne and I have finally had written confirmations from HMRC. This is incredibly good news. As XXX has already said, thank goodness we did not take the advice of others! … So we (my wife and I) will be eternally grateful for your support. Your calm, confident (but measured), logical and evidence / legal fact / precedent based approach, followed up by your detailed, disciplined approach to correspondence is exactly the approach I like and we needed. Your knowledge and experience in dealing with these kinds of situations, and ability to respond to the various challenges and questions which [XXXX] and I threw at you - particularly in the early stages when we needed to understand the risks, options and best way forward, all spoke volumes and was probably the most reassuring aspect of all the support you provided. Once again. Thank you!
