BN66 - Court of Appeal and beyond

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?

It hasn't been used again because of all the attention which has been highlighted by BN66.

In addition, it is now an open sercret that S58(4) was contrary not only to the Rees rules but also HMRC's own protocol.

its a good question - barclays only retrospective 2 months - port authority retrospection dropped (Bob Neill: Backdated port tax burden finally lifted - Local government - Department for Communities and Local Government)

It took several years of lobbying to get the retrospective port tax repealed.

I hope it doesn't take that long to get S58(4) amended to 12th March 2008.

IMO Montp is the only way to go and they are backing us 100%. As you say, communication is not their strong point. But its the end result that counts.

Thanks again in all your efforts in keeping us updated - I am going to +ve rep you and hope others will do the same (see the star in the bottom left corner of each post).

Completely agree BP. So many tax consultants/companies would of run a mile by now leaving everyone in even more cr@p than were in now.

The waiting is hurting me...but its killing my wife. she's wants this resolved and today (without us paying any money of course). so many unknowns, do we build the extension (via a small remortgage - cannot do anymore due to the damm banks), do we buy the new car (via finance), do we sell everything and leave the country......

you are also descibing my wife down to a T.

I've got a long list of people's front driveways who I need to visit with a truck of donkey manure.
