On a personal level, what does this mean for you all if HMRC do win? Holding off on that new car, or complete financial ruin?

The tax law in this country is pathetic; very uncivilised.

CTDs and Interest

Hello All,

New member here (lurker on the forum who is in the same situation as everyone else - e.g. in MP scheme since 2005)...

One question (or fact) I have seen about CTDs which no one has mentioned (or forgive me - I may have misssed it) is about the interest.

From http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/howtopay/cert_tax_deposit.htm#10

<snip>
If the tax liability included within the investigation has an original deemed due date that is prior to the date of purchase of the CTD, no interest will be added to the CTD's value.
</snip>

Therefore (if I am reading this correctly), if you don't pay into a CTD before you receive your "Closure Notice" from HMRC you're not going to get any interest out of it?

Thanks

Out of interest, what would you expect to happen in a civilised country, given how much you earned and how much tax you paid?

This thread is now 108 pages (or 27 if you read 40 per page!) - can we try to avoid distractions?

Several asked this question - and I created this thread http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...ighlight=moral for such talk.

Max - if you want a then please feel free to resurrect that thread or create you own.

if you want to post on this thread then we will assume you are a troll. or Mr Brannigan. or Bradley. or gooner. or are they all the same?

Re-read my post. You'll note I ask "What does this mean for you all..." It would be reasonable to then deduce, via inference, that I was not affected, yes?

For reference I run a ltd company.

I would expect in a civilised country to have clear, concise tax law, not such a convoluted mess such as the UK tax sysytem that has more shades of grey then a UK "summer" day. After all, isn't that how each and every one of you came to be in this boat? Because you all thought/knew that by the letter of the law, it was legal? Or did that depend upon which £2300 per day tax QC was consulted?

I would expect a civilised country upon changing a particular law, to make the change effective henceforth, not retrospective. Ah yes...Her Royal Majesty's subjects indeed.

An important post - well worthy of its own thread?

Depends what you call a 'civilised' country. I gather President George Bush paid less tax than his limo driver!
