BN66 - Time to fight back (Chapter 3)

[helen7]

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?

Mr Youknowwho, can't you just make some retrospective changes for this???? Seems unfair these people's families aren't forced into bankruptcy and poverty.

Given that they seem to have won, can I retrospectively change my tax
returns to join the EBT?

Discrimination

Compare this:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/budget2008/bn66.pdf

and this:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/budget2009/bn60.pdf

They are both "artificial" schemes, so what's the difference?

The response to the following FOI request could be interesting. If the schemes covered by BN60 have cost the Treasury a similar amount (or more) than BN66, then why was the latter retrospectively clarified and the former not?

Where is the consistency? Where is the legitimate expectation? Where is the certainty?

Could it be that there is one law for the institutions and another for the little guy?

The Government's position is indefencible. You can't just apply retrospective tax in arbitrary fashion whenever you fancy. There lies tyrany.

DPA Request

I have submitted my DPA request - it took 2 minutes.
I am very interested to see what I get back from them. There should be some very interesting reading...
If you haven't done so already - do it now! Find out what information they hold on you...

As SantaClaus says:
" Submit a Data Protection Act request and get Mr YouKnowWho (TM) to do some work "

MP Meeting - further contact

Just to let you know that my MP phoned me (!).
She wanted to let me know that she is still waiting to hear from the treasury and is chasing them for some proper answers/information...

I'm sure not all MPs are like her, but she is onside and seems genuinely interested in helping me/us.

Want to meet your MP?
PM me and I will send you through some documentation that will help structure your meeting.

Every MP meeting is very beneficial for us all.

should we read anything into the fact the treasury dont appear to have responded to any of the MP's letters yet? Are they scared, couldnt care less, biding their time?
