It appears that "against Magna Carta" has been in most of today's papers.

FT

Also, I heard from one of the scheme promoter (I was with two, one disappeared and other till going strong) that a case is being put together to appeal the impending law......

She was very tongue and cheek with the details but has appointed a prominent QC.....

I believe, we are near if not at the battle line already.

40 percent off

Are we sure that HMRC are offering 40 percent off for early settlement to Liberty Scheme users? I can't see it mentioned in the various newspaper articles anywhere. I want to be sure of my facts before contacting my MP about this apparent discrimination.

Daily Mail says so, so it must be true.

Dear XXXX

Many thanks for your email and, indeed, welcome to XXXX

As requested, I have written to my ministerial colleague David Gauke MP, the Exchequer Secretary, copying your concerns and requesting his response to them. I will send his reply on to you as soon as I receive it.

Best regards

Meeting yesterday.

When questioned on how they will use the powers, Lin Homer said that they will at this stage only seek accelerated payment in cases where there has already been a tribunal decision in their favour. Whether they will then go onto other cases has not yet been decided.

Just thought I'd bump up DRs post from earlier as there's been a lot of (good) activity today and some us may not have seen this. But it looks like we are not in the immediate firing line.

apparently you will only get an APN once the FTT has made an initial judgement. News to me and has never been mentioned anywhere before, its always been if there is an open enquiry. Think this maybe a new concession they have introduced that even Gauke isnt aware of! This goes some way to them avoiding bankrupting people and then losing the case to the taxpayer, granted they could still lose at appeal etc but its at least one level of safety net.

We just need to make damn sure that this is recorded for future reference!!
