Tax Problem
Worked for an Irish Airline for a short contract and was paid Euro's into an offshore account. Having never received any payslips from the company, (pestered them numerous times), I can only assume that i have paid the correct amount of tax due. The airline went bust shortly after i left and i have had no contact whatsoever with accounts or payroll. I never had any gap in paying income tax in the uk as this work was caried out on half paid leave from my permanent airline. My question is, I have just received a letter from the offshore bank stating that due to new laws all my account details would be made available to the HMRC. If they start asking questions how do i explain my situation as i only ever had the accounts departments word that they were organising my tax for me and i have no paperwork to prove what I have paid??.
Anyone experienced anything similar as there are alot of contractors out there.
Many thanks
Joe
