Some feeback over seafarers deductions

This comment was left on our YouTube channel from EM.

I have been embroiled in a tax battle with HMRC over seafarers deductions for the past 8 years.

I have finally been informed that the £5,398 I allegedly owed (after some kind of form (?) had been submitted after my re-imbursement had been authorized without my knowledge, or consent, and with no further explanation by the HMRC as to why I suddenly had to repay it all again..) has been reduced to some £550…After the first court appearance by the HMRC representative completely boshed their case for me not to receive an appeal / review.

I am now awaiting instruction on repayment terms (to be negotiated with me) before my next court date in April this year.
The HMRC is riddled with incompetence indeed.
