BN66 - Time to fight back (Chapter 3)

[redkieran]

Its legalese. The wording of the entire letter has clearly been wordsmithed by Counsel, which is the way it should be. Careless wording now could provide HMRC with a way out.

It probably means that MP are very concerned about the forthcoming waste of taxpayers money

Ho ho ho!

Hi all,


Where the Government are known to be aware of a practice and do not move to close it down, is it not the case that taxpayers have a reasonable expectation that the Government have chosen to tolerate that course of action, and plan accordingly? I am really keen to hear a straight and direct answer from Stephen Timms on this question.



Well done Santa for an excellent and cogent letter to your MP.

When you say the Government have chosen to "tolerate" that course of action, what you really mean to say is that they accept there is a loophole and that the scheme really does work.

We need to get Stephen Timms to respond to why HMRC pulled the four court cases last year rather than let them go to court and test the scheme. Their argument that it is time and cost is not an acceptable or sustainable argument.

Thanks Seadog

I'll keep you all posted on the reply.

Hello all

Having now read and digested MP'S latest communication I agree that HMRC arguments look weak however I am not sure about MP's responce.

In responce to both points they say that they are "Very Concerned"

What does this mean


Anyone have any thoughts

Well obviously some of us havent been included in MP's latest letter. Again. WTF cant they make sure everyone gets stuff from them and not just a few people?

It really, really makes my piss boil.

You sure its not the postman. My one walks at 2 miles per hour (which I believe is the national average). He also posts my letters in different streets with the same house number

I never get anything from them despite being in regular contact with NW/TQ re closure notices etc.. I thought it might be that I was very early in the scheme and left nearly 6 years ago

That is because theyt have 9 seconds at the doorstep to post letters. On top of walking at 4mph.

Maybe those who have not received should send an email to the MD of montp?

If you left 6 years ago you may have moved. Do MP have your current address?

Oh yes. I'm just not on the 'mailing list'

[BrilloPad]

Have you been given any reason why you were removed? have you contacted JC about this?

[DonkeyRhubarb]

Perhaps...

MP should get some tips from HMRC on sending mailshots. This is the one (and only?) thing that they are quite good at.
