Question from a fellow scheme member :-

What happens if the group do not raise enough cash?

A week ago that question would have been relevant.

Let just pretend for a moment that I am really stupid (difficult I know ). Please could you elucidate?

Cheers

We have raised a "few bob" in the past week.

The only thing I can think of is that HMRC are stalling until
the GAAR comes in. A slightly retrospective element of this is outlined on page 74 of this were arrangements are still in play over the commencement date. I can see them trying to claim that if tribunals are underway when this comes in then they'll just claim the GAAR applies.

Should our Mp's be made aware of GAAR

thats great news, I was worried that the only contributors would be the vocal people on the forum, obviously theres loads of silent support out there. I havent joined yet as I dont get paid til May but will contribute as soon as I can.. also getting p**ed off with all the standard replies people are getting, expecting mine from my useless libdem MP soon.

However I have no doubt that the more money raised the better? Are there plenty of good uses?

Indeed. I am going round all those people I know on the scheme who don't read the forum. I know 3. Of 2 replies so far 1 has contributed and 1 is about to.

I am in the same boat as you re contributing - but as soon as I can I will.

The standard replies was to be expected as a first stage. But it opens the door for the next stage.

finders free rebate

similarly I have pinged a mail round all the MTM folks that I roped into the scheme ... in years gone by

at least they havent asked me to pay their no2retro monies as a rebate for the finders free I got from MTM !!

Just joined and added a little more to the fund. The site is fantastic. Thanks so much to everyone involved.
