    We need to be more like WG. For him 3 months is like the blink of an eye. And he has been consistently successful against HMRC.

        Hee hee. No I don't work for HMRC. I removed my post as, with hindsight, I thought it did not sit well with the general positive nature of this forum. For piece of mind, and because I was lucky enough to be in a position to do so, I settled. For all of those who choose to fight on I wish you all the luck in the world, especially to those people it will bankrupt. I hope you win for the sake of justice and fairness.

          Thanks, and I totally respect your decision to settle. A few hundred people have settled, so you are not alone in wanting to get shut of it. I'm sure everyone would like to get this monkey off their backs.

          The rest of us either aren't in a position to settle, can't bring ourselves to do it or are determined to keep fighting. Actually, there are a lot of people who just don't want to even think about it.

          Even if we win in the end, we've all paid a heavy price.

            If you were in the scheme when it was partly loan based, and you decide to settle with HMRC, is there a danger that Montp could win at the FTTT and then come after their extra 4% in addition to the tax that you've paid (or is the possibility of them winning so tiny that people feel they can ignore it).

              I'm not affected, but as an observer, it seems the chances of MP winning at FTTT are pretty slim. They've been systematically hammered at every legal stage so far. Maybe they can pull a rabbit out of the hat - I would never write them off, but the chances of winning at FTTT have to be lower than 50/50.

              NTRT and the George argument - now that seems a lot more promising.

                I understand what you are saying. But WG has this habit of pulling rabbits out of hats and making HMRC look like idiots.

                  Thanks - it's lucky to be able to settle (however unfair retro tax might be) and get rid of the stress so I understand your position.

                      Mp local MP was a decent chap... unfortunately he's retired.

                      If the Tory candidate comes knocking at my door, I may need 3 people to restrain me.
