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

[marcuss]

Dear all

Just a reminder that this weekend is your last chance to respond to the proposed legislation on ‘Tackling marketed tax avoidance’.

As you probably know, the Government intends to introduce an accelerated payment measure which will give HMRC the power to link your tax affairs to another person's case and demand money up front, with no right of appeal.

If HMRC are granted these powers, it will allow them to demand almost immediate payment of disputed tax before you have had the chance to have your case heard at the tax tribunal (FTT).

If you do one thing this weekend, be sure to spend 10 minutes firing off an email to ask that these proposals are rejected. This is your last chance, so don't bury your heads in the sand!

Done... Fingers crossed!

Tried sending my letter to the aag.consultation@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk but it comes back as undeliverable.

Is this the correct address?

I didnt get a read or delivery receipt - maybe the inbox is full?

Yes, I'd just try again.

Delivery Receipt

As I didn't get a confirmation I emailed again to ask for a receipt of my response and they did send me a email saying it had been received. So if your not sure ask?

There's that word 'legal' again. Remind me what that means.

"Some campaigners have argued the efforts of government and the tax authorities would be better directed at tackling legal but aggressive tax avoidance, especially by big companies."

A very good idea costo. I have done the same.

Call me sceptical but I wonder how many responses will be conveniently "lost"?

However, all our members (and hopefully the EBT'ers) should have CC'd Whitehouse too, so we will have a good idea of what has been sent
