Do you think that guy Davis who was in charge knew the impact BN66 would have when he proposed it?
I know they're vindictive <unts but surely no-one in their right mind would want their name on something that was going to bankrupt loads of people and turf familes out of their homes?Comment

Originally posted by Emigre View PostDid I miss something? Surely there is already a long signatory list to that claim? Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Stephen Timms, Jackie Kennedy, Alan Brannigan, and yes, Mr MacDonald and Mr Davis too. And by retaining a position of deliberate non-involvement people like David Gauke are trying hard to add their names too.
Jane Kennedy was the Treasury Secretary in charge of BN66. Since leaving office, she has attempted to distance herself from it by claiming she wasn't aware of the hardship it might cause. Personally, I don't buy that.
Alistair Darling, as Chancellor, personally signed it off on 7th March 2008. Whether he was aware of what he was approving who knows, but ignorance is hardly an excuse.
However, I still pin most of the blame on HMRC. It was them that hatched the plan and many of us believe they deliberately and wilfully misled Parliament in the process.Last edited by DonkeyRhubarb; 21 October 2010, 12:38.Comment

With all due respect, they do not give a flying Gibson SG about you or your family. Accept that and move on.....

Criminal may = prison
Originally posted by Johnnycomelately View PostAll. I've signed up following a letter i have received from HMRC this week. I found this thread via google, and have read all posts since the end of September (date of the MP office raid)
First of all, by way of introduction;
I am not a contractor
I work in the City
I am advised by MP (as a derivatives trader)
I am due before the Tax tribunals in the near future (scheduled for a similar time to your BN66 CoA hearings from what i have read).
For reference, the letter from HMRC said "MP are under criminal investigations....investigating whether certain tax avoidance schemes have been implemented fraudulently". They go on state that they are seeking a postponement in my hearing (and that of other appellants).
Questions i have?
Who is the 60 year old from MP that was arrested and released?
Anyone any further information on which particular MP avoidance schemes HMRC have in their sights? (i have read about charity donation schemes, medical industry specific schemes, BN66 etc, but nothing specific).
Also, given my letter from HMRC appears economical with information as to why exactly they are seeking a postponement, I wonder if anyone would like to venture as to the pros & cons of agreeing to such a suggestion. (eg. looking to buy time on all MP schemes even if they only have 1 or 2 in the frame for fraudulent implementation).
Many thanks
