BN66 - Court of Appeal and beyond

[BolshieBastard]

Got an interim response from my MP. He acknowledges my 'ongoing concern' regarding BN66 and concern about the legislations retrospectiveness.

actively defending

Is it not common knowledge that Labour lied through their teeth when they pushed BN66 through parliament though? Problem is we still have it now in law and we do not seem to be getting anywhere with persuading our dear parliamentarians to do anything more than sending nice letters to Gauke and co. Also Gauke is now actively defending the decision of the HC and CoA, which I find quite staggering. It's amazing that we do not seem to have a process where we can appeal to someone who would be minded to remove laws have have been passed using such blatant lies.

Also Gauke is now actively defending the decision of the HC and CoA, which I find quite staggering.

I'm sure you are correct but where / when?

I thought his response to people until very recently was that it was before the courts which was correct.

Grateful for clarification on what he actually said that constitutes actively defending the decision of the HC and CoA. Useful for letter writing.

[SantaClaus]

Yep, lets have some quotes please from Gauke. When did he say this? Last week, last month, last year?

A lot has changed in the last couple of weeks thanks to Tax_Shouldnt_Be_Taxing.

Meanwhile, can we stop all this negativity and continue with the pressure on our MPs. Thank you.

John Redwood - Wokingham

I've had an initial response from Redwood saying that he's going to take it up with the Treasury. Therefore no point IMO asking for a face to face now when he can simply use this as an excuse.

If there are any others on here in the Wokingham constituency, can you pm me so we can compare notes? My aim is to meet Redwood face to face in the next few weeks.

So it obvious we have two breeds of MPs:

1) those who are completely useless, just about doing their duty by responding and passing the buck for HMRC to write a Basil Fawlty-esque reply.

2) those who have a conscience and are actually chasing this matter up and demanding answers.

Yes - who is "morally repugnant"? a. Tax avoiders or b. Politicians who in opposition were vehemently opposed to s58(4) but as soon as they get into power, conveniently forget about what they were against in opposition, and refuse to correct Labour's error that they shouted so much about?

In my view, "b" is the very definition of moral repugnance. Its a complete disgrace. In fact its enough to make someone leave this country.

Completely agree with you Dieselpower.

Howmlong EHCR ?

The passion on this forum is to be admired. I wish WE could have presented our HR case, its a lot more believable to me than legal posturing. Given there's supposed to be an EHCR case launched back 2008 does anyone know when this is likely to be heard ?

Outraged, they took up to £98 per year off pensioners, they took well over £100K off me in a single year !

SHIPS2 came through the usual channels. So no
retrospection and no change of tribunal tactics. So
Hector needs to give me an answer as to why there
is favourable treatment.

That's a good point though, isn't it?

I mean, why hasn't s58 spawned any successors? It must have been on the table as a revenue-collecting device prior to the Budget.

So why hasn't it been used?
