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

[BrilloPad]

So HMRC missed the chance to wreck our Christmas by sending out threatening letters.

Merry Christmas to all on this forum and to manking. Except HMRC on whom I wish a slow and painful death. Except Mrs BP and Brannigan for whom a special place in hell is reserved.

Nah, they just didn't have enough stamps to go round

looking at 2004/2005? Are they totally mad?

Got a reply from HM Treasury, via my MP, signed by David Gauke:

Basic points made are :
- he chose to use wholly artificial scheme to avoid the tax due
- HMRC do not accept as misleading or inaccurate information.
- Prev Govt gave full consideration and he (DG) does not propose to "disturb this outcome".
- Treasury officials are meeting the campaign organisers. But will not focus on wider aspects raised by them.

I will send the original letter to NTRT.

Has anyone received this or similar reply at all?

:-(

Yes got the very same reply

Snap! I got the same - it's another 'fill in the name' template response.

Scanned and sent to NTRT.

Grip.

Please forward copies of letters to NTRT

If you have received a letter from your MP/Gauke, please can you forward a copy to NTRT.

Even if you believe it's the same wording as others have had, can you still send it across.

Many thanks,
DR

DR I presume a scanned copy is fine via email?

If so then I've already sent mine.

Yep that's fine, we only need soft copy.

Happy new year!

A busy month coming up.

We've got the event next Tuesday in Parliament, and meeting with Treasury officials the week after.

Onwards and upwards...
