I hope this might be the right place I can post my query. At 76, my father was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment at a memory clinic earlier this year. Most day to day issues are being dealt with and manageanle but there is an increasing problem with his relations with HMRC.
For about twenty years now he has completed tax returns for both himself and my mother, but over the last three years mistakes have been made and fines issued. It is very hard to get a clear sense of how he is progressing with these tax returns and he refuses any help.
However, now that a very large fine has been issued (actually on my mother's tax return, not his), I feel it is time to seek help. He believes he is up to date with returns and payments but that, needless to say, isn't the case, but nor does my father see that it might not be the HMRC at fault. Obviously I can't call the HMRC and discuss it with them, as they won't discuss either account with me. With that in mind, can any one shed any light on how to progress with this sort of issue?
Thank you very much.
