    That's just them doing their job, given we are all in a vulnerable position.
    Ignore them. The bloke telling you that couldn't lace your boots.

        MPs requesting further info

        As anyone who has send the 1st letter is aware, this was merely the "bait". It was short on detail and just focussed on the human cost.

        Some MPs are now starting to show an interest and want more details, which I anticipated.

        If anyone gets a request from their MP for further info, I have a one page document that summarises the whole Section 58 debacle that I can email to you.

        It even tells them which opposition MPs they can contact who raised amendments and challenged the Government's use of retrospection.

        Thanks
        DR

          That will be enormously helpful in organising my thought processes.

          My MP, The Rt Hon Mark Oaten (Lib.Dem), will most likely respond with a request for more info. He is a Member of the Business and Enterprise Committee and my personalised modifications of your template carries enough for him to want more. He has been keeping a low profile of late - the days of being Deputy Leader are long gone, but this isn't too demanding and could bolster his 'Crusader' reputation.

            After the first few times of getting that sort of s**t from police/hmrc you do get used to it.

            I feel a bit grubby that my faith in human nature is misplaced : but hey ho.

              Of course he has no excuse for not digging it out : as a regular reader (the police will testify) he has plenty of warning.

                MPs requesting meetings

                One MP has already replied to the letter requesting a face to face meeting.

                If you get asked for a meeting, email me for the one page summary I've prepared so you can familiarise yourself with all the main points.

                Thanks

                  According to HMRC's own T&C's for SA tax enquiries we have had the right to take the enquiry to the tax commisioners ourselves. We could have done this based on saying that holding an enquiry open for 6+years is unreasonable and putting in a complaint.

                  Any one any thoughts on why MP havnt done this and or is this still an option, it would have to be some one brave though.

                  It would bring matters to a head !

                  I think I am write in saying that Mont P are taking a case to the commissioners.

                  Perhas DR could confirm

                    These chaps seem to be offoering a solution but, being slightly dim, I'm not sure I really understand

                    Has anyone got any opinions on it ?
                    Yes, its been debated here before ... see post 772 (of a previous BN66 thread.... "BN66 - Time to fight back!!" onwards..... but basically don't go anywhere near it was the conclusion.....

                      No, I heard a rumour that KPMG were doing this but nothing confirmed as yet.
