I'd speak to your accountant, it could get complicated. But the CMS only have access to HMRC figures, so they will use this. If you are over 25% above or below the HMRC figure then you can apply for a variation.
Sorry to hear you are having trouble, clearly your ex partner needs to move on with her life.
dont worry. if your self employed when you have more room to breathe. when I signed up to CMS, they checked HMRC records. they sent letter to both me and ex, saying my income for last tax year was 0. so I do not have to pay anything. LOL!
there was some truth to that. as I withdrew money from my company like crazy that last tax year. so accountants could not give me a salary so to speak. whatever I withdrew, they put it under dividends.
I could have just left it at that and pay nothing, according to their decision. but I just know the ex would have taken me to court (cocked and loaded with legal aid) and all [censored] would break loose! so i rang up CMS and said my income was my dividends. gave them info from my accountant, and then after nearly 3 months they worked out how much I am supposed to pay. they look at only the last tax year records.
Si179, have you looked at getting some non-molestation order or something against that crazy ex? they usually apply for one if they happen to see our shadows.
