BN66 - Court of Appeal and beyond

Only if making stuff up as you go along to get it onto Statute so you can bankrupt a load of people is deemed outside of HR and that such matters don't have any wider impact beyond our shores (or India or....)

A book deal

Someone suggested to me that this whole sorry affair would make for a rather good fiction novel. It might run to a few thousand pages to cover 21 years though. Or not maybe. After all you can cover the period from 1987 to 2007 with "just watching the game, having a Bud" then the final Chapter can be called "Wazzzzup!".

There could even be a good name for the book "BN66 - The Pad-it out-more Legislation"

Might gross (before tax) about 400 million quid which could help...

Late October 2007

If anyone received a letter from HMRC in this period asking them if you would be prepared to await the decision of the Commissioners to settle your enquiry please PM me. Please also let me have the name of the HMRC officer on the letter. I'm most interested in dates after 20th October 2007.

Alternatively, our friends at HMRC could just PM me the count as they know what they sent and when. They could even add 'why' to the reply...

Reply from my MP

I finally got a reply, after over a month, that he would be asking the Chancellor of my concerns.

This is good as lately most people got reply from DG so it should be interesting to get a reply from GO. However, I want to write to my MP to also consider GO's double stance on telling Indian Govmt not to use 'clarification' and go 'retrospective' whereas he is doing exactly the same at home!

Can someone give me pointers on exactly how/what to write to my MP, please? I think it needs to be a very brief as they do not have good concentration span! May be someone can PM me.

Thanks

We have had the standard response from GO also. This would be a good opportunity to pre-empt the reply by letting them know when you were first told Hmrc did not accept the scheme working and asked you to make a payment (may 2007 maybe?) and that the first time Padmore was sighted as a reason was March 2008.

Hold fire

Before sending any further correspondence to your MP on this, please hold fire for a few days. A lot of feedback can be distilled into a condensed and focussed next step.

If they have a caseworker, it's probably best to follow up with them. And better still to arrange a face to face with your MP at their Surgery. However, I'd hang on for a day or so and see what can be done to support you with your MP. After all, one thing ultimately is for sure, they cannot ignore you. But I do have consideration for their workloads. I know as fact that even when they really want to keep you up to date, it's not as simple as a quick BB reply from them to you. So if after a couple of weeks you have zero, then a message to their caseworker if they have one and failing that then an email to arrange a meeting at their surgery. I suggest that you ask for more than the default of 15 minutes. But as I suggest, let the weekend come and go and then we can all re-group as how best to address the MP issue.

Should have added: Would you want to respond to the most awkward set of points ever put before you out of choice?
