BN66 - Time to fight back: Continued

[elpinar]

It might be semantics whether they lost the case or not.

It was 2007 and the top and bottom of it is that Mont P said we they said the case would probably be lost and recommended that we accept an offer to settle.

an offer to settle - does that mean there is negotiation on how much we might pay now ........

Cannot hepl on that one. But Mont P did say in one of their letters that it was upto individuals if they wanted to settle.

problem is you cant open the channel of questioning - but if hmrc offered to settle with peeps at 50% of their bills they might get a few takers......

To be honest, I'd settle for 50%. Just want the whole thing over and done with.

I think they'd have more than 'a few' takers. I'd seriously consider it - the security of knowing that I wasn't going to lose my house measures very favourably against the chances of us eventually winning.

Two notices

Hello!

I’ve been lurking for quite a while and decided to join the party!

I’ve received two tax demands for the last two years – nothing for previous years…yet!

I’ve forwarded them onto NW, I’ve had nothing back yet - will I need to signed something for the appeal?

I think BN66 will be struck down (“declared incompatible with ECHR”) eventually, I expect HMRC will then fall back on the “the law has always said that” argument but they’ll eventually lose on that count too. Look at what they did with Arctic Systems. Perhaps we should be calling the public’s attention on how much money HMRC are wasting – spending it to chase people who complied with the law.

Money is going to be tight for the government in the next few years, and no one I’ve spoken to thinks Gordon Brown’s bank bailout is “fair” or “right”. Government waste will become a big issue.

I do now hear that the JR is submitted. Lets hope we get a date set real soon.

The rest of us will settle - but will only pay 5%!!

You know who reads this thread - lets leave room for negotiation.

AFAIK there is no sign of any negotiations - either from montp or Tim Warr.

For the record, I am not interested in settling. Wont pay a penny. I want Montpelier to hang out the govt's dirty laundry in public for all to see.

A bird in the hand...

• Banks collapsing
• Stock markets in freefall
• Falling house prices
• Credit drought
• Rising unemployment

The lists goes on.

If HMRC do want to negotiate they better hurry up before there is nothing left to negotiate over.

Those two birds in the bush are already spreading their wings.
