Back to my hmrc letter, i think i know what has happened.
A few weeks ago i listed a vehicle i had for sale on copart. I had to put my legit ID, name, address and NI number there.
And they have this on their website https://www.copart.co.uk/content/uk/...gislation-2025
Im now 99% sure this is why i got the letter. As officially im registered living elsewhere, so any letters should have went there. Not the address supplied to copart. Also a few “colleagues” also have stealth ebays with mismatched banks and never had this. Fingers crossed this is the case.
Vehicle didnt even sell in the end, so i guess they just send out the letters anyway. | I don't think a few weeks would matter here , you must have used your ID elsewhere and a while ago
with VAT registration it is better to register only if you have to pay because this can easily get you a tax investigation since you put yourself on the radar as such a number can be easily abused
