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

[lucozade]

• The lobbying company Whitehouse are still fully engaged
• We've also engaged the law firm DLA Piper to initiate a formal complaint against HMRC, with the intention of taking this to the Parliamentary Ombudsman
• Last week NTRT met with the National Audit Office, who have agreed to consider putting our concerns about HMRC's conduct to the Public Accounts Committee
• We have got a briefing event lined up in Parliament for 8th Jan, sponsored by a Tory, LibDem and Labour MP. People have been writing to their MPs to encourage them to attend, and we have already got a good number of acceptances.
• Senior officials of the Treasury have agreed to meet with NTRT, and this is being organised for next month.
• We are carrying out an impact assessment survey of our members to present to MPs on the 8th, and for our meeting with Treasury officials. This will also be presented to the PAC and Treasury select committee.

BOOM!

Only 11 cases taken to the tax tribunal in total since 2004?! Did I hear that right? If so my case(s) wont get heard in my lifetime!
