Not all template letters get binned

It's form/templated letters on campaigns addressed to MPs that get ignored, not to Departments...

Not all do actually in my experience. I've sent several letters to my MP based on a template, changed slightly to suit my circumstance, concerning retro tax. Had replies from him (and letters from the Treasury via him) and even a constituency meet.

MPS are only obliged to respond to personal communications from their consituents. If you changed it, even a little bit, it shows you've read it before you send it off so presumably have some interest in the subject. If they get 100 letters all with the same text, they will assume is a mass-mailing with no personal involvement by someone trying to buck the system and it will have the same weight as a petition signed by Mickey Mouse and his friends.

Last chance to stop the proposed "pay disputed tax upfront" legislation

Dear all

Just a reminder that this weekend is your last chance to respond to the proposed legislation on ‘Tackling marketed tax avoidance’.

As you probably know, the Government intends to introduce an accelerated payment measure which will give HMRC the power to link your tax affairs to another person's case and demand money up front, with no right of appeal.

If HMRC are granted these powers, it will allow them to demand almost immediate payment of disputed tax before you have had the chance to have your case heard at the tax tribunal (FTT).

If you do one thing this weekend, be sure to spend 10 minutes firing off an email to ask that these proposals are rejected. This is your last chance, so don't bury your heads in the sand!

With apologies and many thanks to everyone who has already responded!

Retrospection

Whilst we are in a little bit of a hiatus it is interesting to indulge in some retrospection and check out a couple of posts from 13th July 2011 - page 26 - and note how prescient some of the remarks are. I also note the reference in one to HR legislation.
