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

[ASB]

Hi ASB

Following on from the previous message, I've temporarily removed the videos from the public eye until we release the latest version. We want to make sure the message is spot-on before MPs see it.

No worries with that SC. I think it's a good call. Get the message right.

Can I ask, are those affected by BN66 using this time to save? Should we be saving, and making regular tax deposits?

Should have been saving since 2008.

Can you tell if it was an HMRC troll or just a regular CUK one?

A common or garden CUK one.

I am using this time to SPEND. Anything I might save is a drop in the ocean against what HMRC want. Let the good times roll.

kind of with you on this. if you are going to be unable to pay, any money saved would go when you go bankrupt. if you cannot pay the whole amount within a reasonable time then you will be made bankrupt, and as someone else pointed out make no difference it its for £500 or £500,000

lets hope we can get enough people to see sense before it gets to that and remove the retrospective element.

True but it assumes the endpoint is having to pay up. Thats the other flaw in Brillos 'need time' plan. Personally i'd prefer the tribunals & EHCR were heard soonest so we get to an endpoint and I have have some certainty back in my life. That is after all why i joined the scheme in the first place. Even if it meant bankruptcy I'd be less stressed in the long run if it was just over and i could move on.

+1. I agree with everything you say. In fact I agree so much I am going to +ve rep you!

But for me time is best. Partly because I will probably take the end result very very badly. I still remember fondly when the head of f4j called me "The most evil c**t I have ever met". In fact, when he signed the official f4j book for me (several pages dedicated to me) that was what he wrote.

I know who I blame for this mess.

Just a friendly reminder that HMRC regularly read this forum.

Any information that you wouldn't readily volunteer to HMRC by post/phone should not be placed here either. This includes your ability to pay/not pay.

The NTRT steering group and Whitehouse are working hard in the background pursuing various avenues, but information is on a need to know basis for now
