The wife has just finished our vat claim

 

i will see your 161 invoices @Benpointer and raise you 1057 invoices 

anybody had a larger amount than this. 

 Jeepers, that's a lot of invoices!

 

We finally got an initial response from HMRC just over a month after the initial submission:

 

"You are not named on the planning permission. Please provide evidence such as your Building Agreement, Purchase Contract, handover documents, land transfer documentation etc; to show when you acquired the Property/Land."

 

This is because our planning consultant was sent the planning approval.  Anyway, we've now uploaded several further docs to show we own the plot, we're the actual planning applicant etc.  

 

So we wait another month, I guess...

Ah joined up government! You'd have thought they would be plugged in to the land registry and could see if you are the registered owner there before writing that email. Costs everyone more time to deal with the email and response.

Yeah, they didn’t bother to check Companies House when making Covid loans.
