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

Excellent article in ConservativeHome by our NoToRetroTax chairman Alistair:

Alistair Renshaw: Retrospective taxation that forces people into bankruptcy is morally repugnant Comment

There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes by our lobbyists to ensure articles get published and this matter is brought to the attention of MPs, Ministers, special advisors, researchers, etc.

Please feel free to leave a helpful or supportive comment or "thumbs up" some of the other comments, but we don't want to flood the article with comments as that could annoy the editors.

Also, if we can have as many people as possible retweet the article on their Twitter feeds (@No2RetroTax @ConHome), Facebook pages, Google+ and other social networking sites, that will help direct more traffic to the article and increase the possibility of it being picked up by the mainstream media and other political commentators.

Also a good time to say... for any doubters out there, we are getting things moving. If you are still sitting on your hands, now is the time to do something that will affect the rest of your lives.

K019

All - pls refer to K019 and dont hesitate to shove it in MP's faces, whatever party they support - our understanding of several MP meetings in the past 2 weeks is that these quotes from Cameron Osborne Gauke and Cable put them in a very difficult position in terms of changing their minds now that they are in power - Osborne's letter quite clearly spelled out the whole notion of entrapment.

I cannot (on this forum) give you details but assure you that K019 is one of the most powerful documents that can now be used, along with H006 and I009.

I'm having problems reading this document, all I see are lines no words - is anyone else having the same problem?

I just downloaded the document to check it. Looks fine on Microsoft Word 2010.

Could anyone else confirm if they are having problems or downloading documents fine?

Thanks

Just had another read of K019 (makes my blood boil every time!). I can't believe that we even need to campaign to get this S58 amendment after reading those quotes. I can't wait to meet my MP and shove this document in his face! It's just as well parliamentary discussions are recorded else they'd deny ever saying it!

The funny thing is that Osborne and Cameron's comments were not parliamentary discussions - they were actual letters sent to their constituents, signed by their very own hands! ie they were considered comments as opposed to oral discussions.

K019 is a very powerful document and I've just used this in my latest MP communication.
This is starting to get interesting now...

Whilst not related to us I found this article on the BBC a good read: BBC News - Calls for single 30% income tax rate

The article didn't mention tax avoidance implications but I'm sure it would be reduced if there was a very simple rate of tax for all. It would provide clarity and certainty if nothing else and one rate could establish very succinctly the principle of 'fair share' that's frequently banded about but never defined.
