Advisers are warning that HMRC is gearing up for the launch of its
Private Tuition and Coaching (PT&C) campaign in the autumn.
This will be the second disclosure opportunity for professionals
with those being targeted on this occasion being those providing
educational or leisure teaching qualifications. This includes
national curriculum tutors and fitness coaches.
Andy McQuillan, Tax Partner at Dains said: "It is not yet known
exactly what this opportunity will offer, but it is thought those
who make voluntary disclosures will receive reduced penalties, in
keeping with previous HMRC campaigns."
Ahead of the launch, HMRC's Risk and Intelligence Service has
written to language schools, long distance learning companies and
other similar colleges providing vocational courses to warn them of
its intention to send out notices requiring certain information
regarding payments made for teaching, lecturing, examining and
invigilating, from which no PAYE has been deducted for the years
ending 5 April 2009, 2010 and 2011.
If returns are not made as requested HMRC will impose an initial
penalty of up to £300, with up to a further £60 a day
if returns are still not made.
