More 'inaccuracy'
Originally posted by Keith Kershaw View PostCan anyone help me to understand an aspect of the judgement relating to Mr Huitson's employment status?
Paragraph 11 explains that Mr Huitson was self-employed. However, it also states that he would have been caught by IR35, and could not have obtained any tax advantage by supplying his services through an intermediary company.
Eh?
The opposite is normally true. If the activity passes self-employment tests, it is outside IR35's scope. If not, you are an employee for this activity, and you are caught by IR35.
What gives?
the BN66 came in. I was told a number of times that they did and thats exactly
what I expected to happen.
The more I read it, the more it just looks like a paraphrasing of the HC judgement.
If it makes anyone feel any better, the judge spoke this morning as if he expected
appeals to the SC to happen.
And whilst I think about it, the judgement reckons that retrospection should have been
expected because HMRC didn't say they wouldn't use it. How does that work?
What else should I expect ?? They haven't said that they wouldn't use custard pies,
so should I be calling Mrs Murdoch?Last edited by PlaneSailing; 25 July 2011, 16:23.Comment

At the end of the day this is a very serious matter for us, and HMRC and the Government itself, and hence SC is the only way forward here.Join the campaign at

I am not so sure that can be used to escape such claims however, if the organisation is essentially the same org with a different name, I believe they will still find it hard to escape a negligence claim.
I think this is moot however. It's my belief that they will fight to the SC as stated.Comment

Originally posted by Dieselpower View PostWell of course it is worrying, but better paying later than sooner surely - if you are that concerned you can just buy one of those credit note things that everyone is talking about - but if either SC goes our way or HMRC are reasonable enough to negotiate settlements (which is by far better than making people bust) then you may regret your decision to buy those notes. There are bank accounts out there that do pay a reasonable rate of interest.

Something will have to change!!!
Originally posted by sjw View Postand for the record - judging by the number of pms I've had this afternoon I am far from alone
I just wish that HMRC would see some sense in thinking that if they just asked for the initial amounts, then they may well get in a lot more money than they would if they held out for all the interest payments as well!!
Maybe there is a case for Montpelier to ask who wants to negotiate and who wants to fight another day?Comment

Let's not forget, the SC may well agree with MP thus making it watertight.... Just becuse the lower courts thought otherwise doesn't make it so, nothing matters until all avenues have been explored and the final ruling delievered!
We shouldn't be bashing MP, as far as I'm concerned they've done everything they said they would do and I have no reason to believe they won't follow through to the SC and beyond....Comment
