No To Retro Tax – Campaign Against Section 58 Finance Act 2008

HMRC misleading Gauke?

This was in a written response from Gauke to a cross party letter from MPs.



First we had Jane Kennedy with 2000.
Then we had HMRC in evidence to the High Court with 2500, which they expected to go up.
Then Stephen Timms quoted 3000.

Now it's 1900, and over one-third of trusts never used.

Me thinks someone is telling porkies.

Have just fought off one groundless enquiry from HMRC so can donate some cash towards this particular groundless assault on the law-abiding by the actively anti-democratic.

They tried to up my stamp duty from 1% to 3%....
I explained why that wasn't the case.
They said, tough luck.
The same explanation was then given to them on an expensive lawyer's headed paper with the request that we sort this out to save everyone "the expense and embarrassment of a tribunal."
They said, "ah, you're right."

So, they've spent probably a couple of thousand pounds of tax-payers money and at least a thousand pounds of my money trying to recover £8k to which they were quite clearly not entitled. Or, put another way, tried it on with a member of the public they expected to merely pay up for fear of the mighty HMRC. This is becoming their standard modus: to how many people are they doing this?

Utter, utter Canutes.

I would claim it as an expense on your next tax return - it was after all wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred. However, you should perhaps seek compensation first. It might soften the blow.

So, if over 1,000 trusts were set up (which would have required a settlement of £1,000 each) why were they not used? Seems to me like there is a gaping hole in the number of enquiries sent out and that they did not open as many as they should have and are now deliberately covering up the fact and in so doing deliberately misleading Parliament.

Is that still treasonable?

I trust our scheme providers know the true figures, how many set up, how many used, and how many under investigation, .... and the GAP !!

As the insurance dog would say "Oh, Yes".

Thanks I don't know anyone who has received them but thought it is a bit odd that only some have received them when HMRC are supposed to treat everyone equally. That's obviously not the case if they are amending some returns (including mine) while accepting others with no amendments.

hahahaha

Its nice for someone to bring some light relief to this thread!

We have been very clearly picked on. And treated dreadfully. It is now very personal between us and a certain person at HMRC who has way more influence than he should.

When I got called by the police about threats made in an earlier thread I was informed it was not personal. I laughed and disagreed.

Its personal and its winner take all.

I must say I don't laugh much when it comes to anything related to S58, but this was just brilliant. Think I'll send it to my MP too although I'm sure I'm on his blocked list.

I've shared on FB and Twitter.

Do we even know how many scheme providers there were for certain? I bet montp have no idea how many are affected in their scheme for certain! For a start some might have submitted their own tax return.

Though I would trust montp to be more accurate than HMRC.

That would be highly unlikely .....
