On telephoning the Inland Revenue to find out the progress of my P1001, signed and sent back to them over a month ago, I am told that they are currently experiencing a postal backlog of FOURTEEN WEEKS!
Since the P1001 authorises me to speak to the Inland Revenue on behalf of the Personal Representative, who, quite understandably is grieving and has instructed me to deal with the estate on his behalf – I cannot communicate effectively with them.
A reply will be expected in September, by which time I might have finished the (rest of the) administration with some time to spare…
