I could tell you, and it would frighten you witless.
Howzabout being told you owe £50k tax on a house sale you did SEVEN years previously?? It happened to us!

And that was after W rang the tax office to confirm there was none to pay, at the time of the sale.
Bartenders!!!
(We ended up paying nothing like that and I am still fuming....)

How does that work then & how would anyone else know the seller had tax issues.
Even so if paid by PP gift or not it still goes into your bank unless you send it to someone else
or buy somit, its all traceable regardless, but once its gone friends n family its gone.

I have a "friend" who the taxman is chasing for unpaid tax and they ask for any payments via friends & family so they don't get charged Paypal Fees and it shows as a "gift" on their account.

For some reason the tax office must have just been scanning through house sales and came across mine. It was my only house but issues with the land registry made it look as if I had that and a half share in W's. So they reckoned it was a second home and thus liable for tax.
I had to employ a specialist tax accountant. The tax office immediately were forced to drop their demand by £40K and then a bit more but I still ended up paying £5K.
Luckily our dog had 7 pups and that just about covered it.
They cannot be trusted even when they tell you stuff over the phone.
The rest of your post I don't know about as I never use it.
W does all the buying viaa PP etc and she has never mentioned it. I'll have to ask her!

Public agencies in the UK do try it on. I had something similar when my mother died. She didn't even own a house and merely had a few thousand in savings, but I got a number of very threatening letters from the 'Recovery from Estates Division' over a period of about a year. I chucked them in the bin and after a while they stopped sending them. It looked to me rather like somebody had gone through all the grants of probate and was doing a bit of speculative invoicing. There was clearly no infrastructure or mechanism in place to back any of this up, because it's now nearly eighteen years later and I have neither paid any money nor gone to prison.

It infuriates me that the tax offfice is one of the few, if not the only, public bodies that you cannot take to court.

Talking of fury.
So often over ere they demand you put a Frog mobile number in an order for summat over tinternet.
I'm trying to buy a bog cistern off Leroy-Merlin.
They yhave both internet address and home phone or "fixe" as they call it. but oh no, you've got to put in a mobile number, either French or Spanish or a few other European countires but not the UK.
I managed to get through to a human bean eventually who kinda understood. First thing she said "Can't you come to the shop?"
"Wot?" (it's miles away) Albi For flip's sake.
Eventually said bird told me someone else would ring me "before 2200 hours".
Well thanks.
and I only enrolled on their site yessdi.
Grr!

Not strictly true. I believe you can, probably not the best course of action though for future relationships

I used to think it was worth keeping institutions sweet in order to expedite future relationships. But I've now come to the conclusion that they lack the record keeping capability or institutional memory to bear grudges effectively.
