BN66 - Time to fight back: Continued

[twinkle]

I know peoples circumstances are different and can fully understand why the more cautious amongst us want the level of protection a CTD can offer but is it really worth it?

I would reckon that average most of us will "owe" is roughly £30K per year we were members of the scheme (apologies if this is a low estimate).
Given that HRMC interest rate is 2% or 3% above base rates doing nothing should only potentially cost £1K * number of years in the scheme * number of years a final judgement takes.

This is a price I'm willing to pay to keep full control of my money (I know the CTD does give control but it seems like a hassle to get it back if needed). I would also guess that HMRC came to a similar conclusion which is why their original letter threatened "Jeopardy".

As far as I (and my contacts at MP) know this is an empty threat as it can only be applied to businesses and not individuals. I am a little concerned that the delay in closure notices might be to see how much money is generated and for HMRC to try and take steps to force the rest of us to pay regardless of Appeal but I dont really see how they can do that.

As I've mentioned before I don't have much choice but I still think sitting tight is the best option especially as a new government in 20 months or so might be easier to negotiate with even if we lose (I won't be counting on that though)

Hawkwind,

Could you expand on the numbers users to derive the your '£30k per year in the scheme' from.

Thanks

Hopefully, your wish will come true and HMRC will select YOU personally for the test case. Would you still be as confident goingn into the ring personally with HMRC? I didnt think so..........funny that.

You rather presumed my reply then. Do I get no right of reply? Are you my ex-wife?

I have got no issue going in the ring personally. Why should it worry me? I have been in court loads of times - several times I was a LIP(litigant in person) which means I represented myself. And I always won when on my own.

The prospect of going in with tax barristers is therefore of no consequence.

All things considered probably a lot less poor than you my friend.

It's a good job that you are both a contractor and a skilled QC in your spare time, if only everyone else on this board was so fortunate.........

Where did I say I was a QC? What I said was "The prospect of going in with tax barristers is therefore of no consequence". You really aren't reading what I wrote are you?

Gosh the quality of trolls is really going downhill. bring back Chico.

Thanks for the "retrospective clarification" on that point.................

Doesn't surprise me you need a hug. Sounds like you've had a tough life, hardly surprising you are as you are. Anyhow, I've got better things to do myself. All the best mate.
