Every time you turn up the magnification, there's another deception, another inconsistency, another injustice. Every single time!
As DR said several pages ago, if this passes the public interest/proportionality criteria then where on earth does the boundary lie?Comment

The judgment sends a very clear message to the authorities that they can introduce even more extreme measures without falling foul of the courts.Comment

It won't just be those directly affected by BN66 who will be interested in the outcome of this case. Presumably there will be others - people interested in setting up shop, or otherwise investing in the UK - who will want to know about the tax framework within which they would find themselves operating. If unsatisfied by HMRC's lack of integrity & veracity, then aren't they likely to take their business, talents & skills elsewhere?Last edited by Disgusted of Coventry; 5 February 2012, 23:05.Comment

Originally posted by DonkeyRhubarb View PostThe courts so far have barely raised an eyebrow, so wherever the boundary does lie (assuming there even is one), it must be a lot further away than BN66.
That's why the courts are not batting an eyelid. They just see it as the normal business of government.Comment

Originally posted by centurian View PostThat is because I suspect that almost all legislation has some element of this duplicity going on. It's only the intense spotlight that has been placed upon it - that it has come to light in this case.

My point was that the courts haven't raised any concerns about the principle of retrospectively amending tax law over such a long period of time.Comment
