BN66 - Time to fight back (Chapter 3)

[PlaneSailing]

HM Revenue & Customs is to spend £1 billion on enforcement and compliance this year to cut tax avoidance


the Revenue said that it would spend a quarter of its £4 billion budget on catching tax-dodgers.

Apparently there is loads of money!

I keep seeing this phrase that worries me greatly:

"relentlessly pursuing those who bend or break the rules.”

I understand "break the rules", by all means chase that, but "bend" is
a whole different kettle of fish. This looks like a licence to harrass
and bully, which obviously we are at the brunt of right now.

And coupled with their new powers to enter and seize reminds me
more of the Sheriff of Nottingham than a branch of the Civil Service

I feel a letter coming on....

dont worry they'll be put back in their bottle next year, they are overripe for pruning just the same as every other part of this bloated, parasitic state.

Ok, it's OT but I though I'd post this up as it involves retrospection - albeit in this case HMRC deciding to change their guidance.

IN particular:-

IR20 does create anomalies: many will agree that it is odd that someone who spends in aggregate many days physically present in the UK should be non-resident simply because his presence includes a large number of short trips. And perhaps there is an argument that IR20 should be revised. But, note – "revised": not "ignored when it seems like a good idea". Look, HMRC – you wrote the rules– you encouraged us to play by them – it's frankly unacceptable for you to change them halfway through the game or – as in the case of Mr Gaines-Cooper, to decide towards the end of extra time that the rules have been changed with effect from the start of the game.

I just thought it might be of interest to some.

what a fantastic way of explaining the retrospective element of S58, beautifully put even if it wasnt meant to refer to us

Ok, so the blog is by RGC effectively. But, if you're bored, read the judgement above. It's enlightening in a number of ways. Shows what you're up against.

Asiom or Assignment Solutions

Looks like this scheme has won it's second round with HMRC.

It was an EBT based in the IOM.

Looks like the scheme operators are asking for the investigation to be closed now.

How is this different from the other IOM schemes?
