BN66 - the road to Judicial Review

I guess thats why they are in public rather than private sector in the first place. They'd be bust within a year in the private sector if they took the same stance of not really knowing the real cost of implementing a strategy and how it affects bottom line.

Gordon Brown is my hero

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...n-brown-labour

Please, please do not get rid of Gordon Brown as Prime Minister. We need him to be in charge of the Labour party come the next election.

He's had some unfortunate slip-ups that have caused him to pile complexity upon complexity in our tax laws rather than admit mistakes, and he is directly and wholly responsible for home re-possessions and marriage breakdowns but I say let's give him another 10 years to see if he has learnt anything.

OK, I'll come clean, if he's in power after the next General Election, I'll be off!

I bet HMRC never anticipated that the tax avoidance industry would step in to fill the gap, or that companies would start offering contract review services and investigation insurance making it virtually impossible to enforce..

This is one of the many reasons they are f**king dickheads. Any Darwinian could have told them that when a system leaves a gap many competing organisms\strategies will evolve to fill the gap.

IR35 left a new niche to be filled, ripe with the new and unplundered resources that go with it. It was like giving the Galapogos to the first turtles. And quite CLEARLY, HMRC would not be the receivers of the new resources, they were only the seeders after all.

The same will happen when they lose their current case against us. Everyone will be back on the tax-planning band-wagon and the turtles will have a raft of new genes ready to be unleashed in an explosion of tax avoidance mutatations.

Mr you Know Who, his cohorts and their shenanigans really are a bunch of thickos. I p!ss in their open-mouths and laugh all the way to the bank, quite literally!

FOI requests

HM Treasury have responded to some of the FOI requests:

Obviously they have not provided the info we want.

The next step is to request an Internal Review. This won't make any difference but it is a pre-requisite for complaining to the Information Commissioner.

Once they have responded to the Internal Review, then you can use this simple form to complain to the Information Commissioner.

Yup had a response which amusingly has every other page on the pdf upside down.

As anticipated there's no real info that I can see would be of real use in your campaign.

When I get some time I'll follow the Internal Review process.

I got a similar reply. Upside down pages here too.
Says it all really, about HMRC!

Have requested an Internal Review just to keep them busy

Blimey, it's a bit wordy. If they spent half as much time releasing documents as they did trying to work out ways of not doing so we'd all be much better off!
