BN66 - Time to fight back!!!

I am sure Mal said HMRC have an office in Oz. No doubt Mr Brannigan will be silent on this one!

I expect anything in Europe is off limits too? USA? Canada(thread about tis yesterday)?

I wish Mal was here - I am sure he knows - maybe if we start a sperate thread and dont mention BN66 he will reply?

Why would you want to go anywhere other than a tax haven? Haven't you had enough of bl**dy taxes yet!

It would be a waste of time HMRC trying to extradite you for tax evasion. Not only are the sums of money involved trivial, but also most extradition treaties only cover serious criminal offences. I'm not considering this at the moment but I don't think there would be any problem finding somewhere nice to live where they could never touch you.

Just imagine, wouldn't it be great to send HMRC a postcard from somewhere exotic informing them of your new address.

Buy our own island?

For $10M we could buy an island. Let's say we could get 250 scheme members to put up £100k a piece, giving a total budget of £25M or $50M. That would leave $40M to build 250 units or $160,000 per unit. Sounds feasible to me.

What shall we call the island? BN66 or Clause 55 perhaps?

Bermuda is a tax haven....

PS - ASB, you dont hold an asset, your company does and bearing in mind most shares are only worth £1 it wouldnt be worth HMRC coming after you to try and prise Ltd company assets from you.

We could setup a hippy commune

interesting that the treasury stated on BBC website that apparently "£66m is the sort of money the chancellor finds behind a sofa its so trivial"...double that figure is what HMRC would be pursuing us lot for

HMRC may take the view that the company is holding assets of say 300k after deducting any liabilities on them and you hold say 50% of the shares. It may then consider those shares are worth 150k and may then go through the appropriate channels to get thier hands on them.

I guess it's possible HMRC may accept the shares are only worth £1 each and the shareholders funds are in fact worth nil.

Many of us have already written to our MPs. In fact I had a reply last week including a letter from the lovely Jane.

What particular point were you making in your letter?

[smalldog]

usual stuff, HMRC not acting in appropriate timescales having known about it for 6 year! Why they wouldnt litigate, retrospectivity yada yada yada

smalldog...would you be prepared to offer a template of your letter that we can all use to send to our MPs...while we're all sitting around twiddling thumbs waiting for things to happen (MontP, JR, tax assessments, etc...) it might be worth targeting MPs...I feel I need to be need doing SOMETHING!...

Write your own. MPs (or to be precise, their secretaries) are well used to dealing with organised campaigns and if they see 50 remarkably similar letters, 49 of them get binned immediately and the first treated with suspicion. Your MP represents you personally, not some aggregated group of people, and acts accordingly; you need lobbying organisations to do the bulk protest thing effectively.
