But let me just share one her conclusions. Remember, she is an FTT Judge.
"It is extremely unlikely that HMRC would succeed in demonstrating fraud on the part of Mr A or Mr B."
Who do you trust? Her, or a couple of bullies from HMRC?Comment

However, I think folks probably need to stop this conversation here though as its probably giving too much information to HMRC...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by Buzby View PostSo we would have to ask someone else in HMRC, or the adjudicator why they would even suggest that they would try and pursue the fraud line. When HMRC officers go to a meeting do they seek legal opinion first or just make it up on the spot?
I think the poster above is correct. By all means vent and express opinions but I suggest that all discussion of counter argument, additional issues, alternative views etc is confined to a more confidential forum.
I think NTRT has one such? Might be more appropriate shifted there?Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

Originally posted by DonkeyRhubarb View PostI never considered it. I just followed professional advice. The scheme was backed up by a QC opinion. It's not my fault if the original QC didn't consider it.
If Anne Redston comes back with a reaffirmation of her original opinion, then I'm going for it.
I've had enough of dicking about.Comment

I'm feeling decidedly cheerful about the TAA going into the weekend.
I can imagine HMRC officials venting steam and desperately trying to crank up the APN machine with more lube... I mean oil.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
