Originally posted by TAF4 View PostThe current lowering of morale in my case is arising from the increasingly pervasive HMRC strategy of closing any and all avoidance strategies and branding them artificial. We have seen Image Rights, non-domicile guidance, bonuses provided as shares all attacked during the last week - and probably many more still to come. All of these planning strategies are now being smeared with the 'avoidance' epithet which has itself been traduced into an equivalence with 'evasion'. The HMRC attacks are also being applied retrospectively on the grounds that the planning strategies are contrived purely to avoid paying the tax due. Since when was that wrong? The tax wasn't due in the past.
Those who relied on non-statutory HMRC guidance are in a much more invidious position.Comment

Originally posted by TAF4 View PostI don't think the poll is having any influence on morale overall. Those that have voted probably ignore it in the header location, yet those still to vote have the status readily visible.

There is a massive drive to make legal tax avoidance as decreed by the High Court, into tax evasion.
I used to work in the civil service and never really held with the view that civil servant didnt pay tax.
In over 10 years since I left, I've paid tens of thousands of pounds in corporation tax, VAT and yes, NI Conts. All of that generated by me because I took a decision to leave the civil service. If I'd have stayed in the civil service, hmrc and its incumbents who have got a big fat zero in tax receipts from me.
So, you not only generate wealth and tax receipts for them and they still want more.
Well how about more of them get off their fat lazy arses and create some wealth themselves?I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Originally posted by CharteredTaxAdviser View PostI agree.
The case will take several years typically. Its likely to go more quickly as my HMRC insiders are saying that they want to pursue this quickly.
You have to consider another scenario ladies and gents that should HMRC lose ultimately, then its VERY likely they will legislate again....
What I can positively say is that I personally know 3 QC's in prestigious London Chambers who are all engaged on various matters around this case. They are in addition to the ones that DonkeyR states at the top of this thread...Comment

Originally posted by not-a-penny View PostI guess there is a chance that some of these N/A people really belong to the Yes camp because they will loose everything even if it does not include a house.
Obviously it wouldn't be realistic to extrapolate the figure of 60% to infer that 1500 out of the total 2500 people who used the scheme could lose their home.
However, it must run into several hundred.Comment
