The best way to illustrate to HMRC what Lack of Moo means

[RetSet]

Has anyone here ever worked with HMRC (contractor or permie)? I would've thought it's not uninteresting work.

Yep, was there for about 18 months.

I got to see their internal news rag.

There really are inspectors who genuinely believe that all taxpayers are out to deliberarately underpay on taxes due.

Having said that, in subsequent issues, other inspectors took a more moderate view and called these tossers out as such, although not quite so directly.

Should have gotten them to explain MoO to you while you were there

Thanks for that suggesion, although I'm happy to go with the explanations provided by Dave Smith and Anne Redston.

When I looked at the ESM, it tried to suggest that getting paid proved MOO. No, HMRC, getting paid is Consideration, which is an essential element of a Contract.
