I've just received a Section 9A TMA 1970 Notice for 06/07. Nice Christmas present! Have forwarded on to NW and TQ and am now thinking of getting a CTD as the 7.5% rate is steep.Comment

a) screw up people's Xmas
b) make it a mad scramble over the holiday for MP to appeal with the 4 weeks
Either that, or they are holding a load back for January when they know MP will be snowed under filing returns. (Apparently, it's a nightmare filing on-line.)Comment

It had already fallen to 6.5% on 6th Nov, but now it's dropped to 5.5% from 6th Dec.Originally posted by Boycie View Post

Having said that, it's still way above the base rate of 2%, and more than you can get in most savings accounts gross, never mind after tax.
If, as is expected, the base rate falls close to zero early next year, I would be surprised if HMRC's rate goes below 4%.
As far as I'm aware, the only risk free (and tax efficient) alternative to a CTD is an offset mortgage.Comment

Nice of them to bother updating the rates in their letter. My letter date was 16 December but still says 7.5% - deliberately left I'd imagine. The letter goes on to state make sure that your 07/08 tax return doesn't make any claim under the DTA or else we'll 'av ya.Originally posted by DonkeyRhubarb View PostComment

They have pulled this stunt before. A letter I received a couple of years ago contained a (much higher) rate from several months earlier.Originally posted by Boycie View Post
Like Jeremy Paxman says, you have got to ask yourself "why are these lying bastards lying to me?".Comment

my latest from HMRC
I am with de graaf, only since last year. I have been receiving the letters from HMRC, and have been responding using de graaf's suggested letters. Got latest reply from HMRC today.
To summarise - "where the only ground of appeal is alleged incompatibility with human rights, ........................ the Act does not provide for the legislation to be set aside even if a finding of incompatibility were made. The only remedy ............. is a declaration of incompatibility. Such a declaration cannot be made by the General or Special Commissioners, but only by the High Court or above" (So - we will pursue this even if we lose JR)
"The human Rights Act "does not affect the validity, continuing operation or enforcement of any incompatible primary legislation"" (ditto)
If a declaration of incompatibility is made "it remains for Parliament to decide what, if any, action to take" (this has to go higher than JR)
"The effect of this is that the outcome of the JR will not in itself change the law and the tax will remain due" (swivel, you barsteward)
Any thoughts?
feels like this could go on a long time to meComment
