BN66 - Time to fight back (Chapter 3)

[DonkeyRhubarb]

Game plan

I think it's clear that, whatever the outcome of the upcoming hearing and/or the JCHR, there is a long way to go...

Not if I have my way.

Within 12 months we should have a Conservative govt.

If the JCHR rule that the legislation is incompatible then Cameron will have to take notice.

Why?

Because he wrote to the JCHR, on behalf of a constituent, calling for a review.

This is our ace card.

JCHR - final summary

Having received 90 testimonies now, I have decided to close the survey. Here is the summary going to the JCHR.

Financial Impact
46 people provided a detailed breakdown of their liability to tax and interest, and the averages were approximately:

Tax - £113,000
Interest - £27,000
Total - £140,000

Of the 90 who responded:

• 55 (61%) said they could not meet the tax demand, even if they sold all their assets including the family home
• 29 (32%) could only settle by selling (or possibly remortgaging) the family home
• 6 (7%) could cover the liability from savings/investments or by delaying retirement

Human Impact
The majority of those who responded had families with children. The fear of financial ruin has placed a terrible strain on many relationships, and some marriages have already broken down.

• 43 (48%) people said they were suffering from severe stress
• 14 (18%) reported problems sleeping at night
• 7 (8%) said they were suffering from depression

Outstanding news DR, many thanks again, and to Brillopad and the others who have led in this campaign. We all owe you a real debt. This is the best news I have had in a long time.

Why is it a waste of money? Surely the alternative is no attempt at enforcement (though I personally would MUCH prefer the old pre SA system of determination by the tax office)

Welcome to the bn66 thread

Are you personally affected or just a supporter?

[portseven]

This might brighten up your weekend.

Based on the testimonies, the Joint Committee on Human Rights are opening an inquiry into s58.

I will update you as soon as I know what format this will take and timescales etc.

But the main thing is that it has been accepted for review.

Amazing work DR!

Brannigan, Timms and CO, I hope you see the steamroller coming your way, for too long you have victimised us contractors, I think you have met your match this time!

Final push

I have now received 96 testimonies. It would be nice to hit the magic 100.
