How this can be viewed as 'consultation' is beyond me.
And as for 400 responses from a website, I hope he's not including me. I will be seeking clarification from them, as I wrote on my own behalf.Last edited by PlaneSailing; 28 March 2014, 08:50.Comment

Looks like David Gauke isn't as clever as he thought...
He forgot to register <Mod snip> preferring instead to opt for the .co version. Says a lot about him really, a career politician who doesn't give a toss about anyone else and sees politics as a way to get rich.
One day Gauke's retrospective tax will come back and bite him in the butt.Comment

His means of solving the avoidance problem is draconian and some aspects of it may struggle under scrutiny. The consultation document acknowledges your right to have your case heard in court, but takes the assumption that you will lose and therefore must pay up front. The impact this may have on a user, in the presumption of innocence, may well be life changing. An ability to gain a phyrric victory after a user has lost their house or been made bankrupt is surely not the intention of this legislation - unfortunately that will happen to many.
Gauke may be a career politician with a Tax Avoidance wife specialist, but that's the sort of person the Tories tend to choose as their parliamentarians.Comment

Presumably nobody here would ever use a tax planning scheme again; so this legislation doesn't really effect us. We all knew we'd probably have to pay up this year.
Shouldn't efforts be focused on repealing s58 rather than this; which seems just a distraction.Comment

Just to remind everyone that this thread is heavily moderated.
You may not agree with posts on here but please don't post just to jeer at people.

Originally posted by Fireship View PostI have to disagree, this has direct impact on S58 and any resulting claims for tax due. As such it should be part of any challenge/action.Comment
