Next steps for Providers
We consider it is clear that HMRC are expecting a level of detail in respect of any nil declarations in order to be satisfied that the declaration should be accepted. Providers will now want to weigh up the pros and cons of remaining in the scheme. We consider either option could ultimately still lead to the serving of a Notice of Underpayments if the Mencap case proceeds to be considered by the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court find that every hour of a sleep-in should count.
We consider that providers will want to wait to see whether the Supreme Court give leave to Unison for the appeal to continue before deciding on their next steps. Providers will then want their Boards to consider the pros and cons carefully before deciding on their course of action.
If you are a client of the firm and would like a summary note of the pros and cons of remaining in the scheme, please email regena.hodgson@anthonycollins.com.
If you would like to discuss your approach in more detail, please email regena.hodgson@anthonycollins.com to set up a meeting or call with one of our team.
