The special unit they've got lined up for is based here:
HMRC

Like it another case of cracking a nut with a Hammer

I owe nothing. But I keep getting letters from some bloke saying that he wants more than £100 k off me.

correct....... no one owes anything yet ...... just some bullies demanding money with menacies.

Followed up a letter to my local MP [Ian Murray Lab] with a visit to his surgery this morning: we were left alone for best part of an hour and he listened intently to our case - backed up with some recent info gleaned from this very Forum explaining the misleading detail perpetrated by HMRC re. Padmore. During the discussions he mentioned that he had received correspondence from six other consituents on the same subject of BN66 (but I was the first to make a personal visit). I would urge the other six - if they are aware of this forum - to pay a visit: the more pressure can be brought to bear the better. For the record, he agreed that "retrospective taxation" is not acceptable and promised to bring this up with the Chancellor (!) and Danny Alexander next week. He seemed genuinely surprised as to the numbers of people affected by this and the amounts of money involved leading to potential bankruptcies.

This demonstrates how important it is that people affected by section 58 ACTIVELY SEEK OUT THEIR MP. For those of you who have not visited your MP or even just written to them - do it now. 3,000 people are affected by the unfair and unjust section 58 retrospection. When you look at the details it is clear that we are being robbed. The section 58 retrospection is the opposite of the 1987 Padmore retrospection that was used to justify it.

Only a change in the law can save us, and that will only happen if MPs demand it.

Make sure your MP knows about YOU.

Poll

Just out of interest can anyone who has voted NO, please advise why they said no - is it because you believe it will be money wasted?
Thanks.

Nice one VV. I just dont think they realise the scale of the problem and the regular people affected. I will be walking in to my meeting with my MP next week having forwarded DRs survey for sure. This kind of retro action hasn't happened before and given protocols recently put in place will not happen again. We are caught in the middle and it must be repealed!

A very valiant effort, Victor!

This is what we need! - people (metaphorically) banging down the doors of our MP's surgeries.

Just imagine if every person affected went to see their MP personally. There could be queues snaking round the block.
