[portseven]

Already sent a copy to DR

Keep your powder dry

I understand why some of you want to write to your MPs but they can't interfere with the courts (sub judice etc).

The time for us all to put pen to paper is if HMRC try to enforce collection while an appeal is pending.

This is an area where MPs can intervene on our behalf, and I'm sure we would get their full support.

I suggest we hold fire for the moment.

without giving anything away - can you indicate if it is positive news for us ?
any glimmer of hope would cheer me up right now.

(but, for the record, I'm not, nor have ever considered settling)

Yep, walls have ears, and so do webpages.

memo to HMRC: you can stop pressing F5 now, lunchtime is over!

In a response to our earlier round of letters to MPs, I found my MP backed off very quickly after Timm's response. I wrote to him to tell him that I was disappointed, but asked that should they attempt to enforce a rapid collection that he would intercede on my behalf to ensure that I was given a reasonable time to pay up. He was more than happy to do so. This sort of action allows them not to get their hands dirty, while still defending us. I think most MPs if not all, would feel the same way.

Also, on an earlier point, I don't think there is any point paying on account at all. They aren't going to cut a deal. Especially if you have the funds, I think the best idea is to pull them together in case you need to transfer it at short notice, should the doomsday scenario happen. That way they have no hold on you, if God forbid, we lose, you write the cheque and walk away if you can. There's nothing to be gained by giving it to them now.

Basically this is the tax now due on the amount you claimed as Tax free each year due to DTA when you did your returns each year

sorry am being really dim .... are you saying that if you take the alledged amount owed each year, and total it up, that now averages about 1.3 times the amount originally owed due to the interst
OR
are you saying that if you take MTMs estimates of what you personally might owe (which included interest) that this is now 1.3 times that estimation?

I really hope its the former - otherwise most of our debts just increased by about 50k!!!!!

Minutes of the meeting discussing the Finance Bill

Does anyone have a link to the meeting minutes of session where BN66 was discussed in parliament?

Requests for letters

Please don't send me requests for copies of letters from Montpelier, and especially not deGraaf who I have no affiliation with.

If you don't receive the updates then contact them to get yourself on the mailing list.

Incidentally, this and all future Montpelier letters will only talk in generalities. For obvious reasons they can't discuss specific points of appeal because it could fall into the wrong hands.

Remember, we are at war!

[BolshieBastard]

So, Montpelier \ MTM's letter that I understood to be being sent out yesterday is now being sent out some time today?

As for pcg, bunch of twats and I expect nothing from them. They were all high and mighty (and still are if you read their comments) that the scheme was dodgey from the start.

Now the wider implications of retrospection are becoming clearer to them, they are going 'oh, er, this may affect us some time down the line.'

Oh and nice to see that hMRC can now force your accountant to divulge any tax advice \ planning over to them.
