BN66 - Round 2 (Court of Appeal)

[Mojito]

Silent Noes

Where did the other No voters suddenly come from? They didn't contribute to the debate at all, all the voices except Jane Kennedy were clearly in dissent raising perfectly valid points even without JK's lies, but then *bosh* a 'Noes' majority vote.

Oh hang on, they're all NL stoogies. So that's how democracy works.....

[Cugel]

So at least we have a list of names of those who voted NO to the amendment now.

I have added a few of those to MY list of names** and underlined those that already existed (in RED crayon)


** MY list of names is purely for future reference and was not created for any nefarious or sinister purpose

Something interesting the Lib Dems sent to my wife. Pretty old but I'd not seen it before.

looks like they were just out numbered, only 20 MP's that voted, basically all the Labour croneys followed the party line, and the rest voted against, shame there wasnt more non Labour MP's there

They have sat on the matter, have come back subsequently some years later and taken action when the scheme started to develop, having been aware of the ambiguity under the 1987 legislation.

Even this is not true. HMRC sat back and watched the scheme grow year on year. In fact, as HMRC's own figures show, the highest rate of growth occurred in the earlier years.

Tax Year........Filing Date......Number of Returns......Year on Year Growth
2001/02............Jan-03.............229................................ N/A
2002/03............Jan-04.............428................................ 87%
2003/04............Jan-05.............759................................ 77%
2004/05............Jan-06.............838................................ 10%
2005/06............Jan-07.............935................................ 12%

PS. only in the public sector could you get away with being this useless, inept and incompetent

Tax cheats to be named and shamed

Evade, dodge, cheat. What does it mean?

Timms: "It is only right that people pay their fair share of tax"

HMRC: "taxpayers who know they have not paid enough tax"

In the past, there was a clear distinction between avoidance and evasion but now it's all blurred.

Left to their own devices, HMRC will abuse this "name and shame" legislation.

DR, I remember when this idea first came up and the concern was that by publishing such names HMRC would be in breach of Human Rights. Let's hope so.

yeah as if they give a flying duck about that

Maybe they left it a few years to run up the figures so that the torches and pitchforks brigade would scream in indignation and allow them to go after more targets.

well think about it, its a great way of getting more money than they would have if they had told us from the start, this way they get the money oweed and all that extra interest earned
