Isn't there a 'Campaign for Tax Law Rewrite' (or something), supported by the CBI? Can there even BE a more compelling argument in its favour, than all the anxiety & misery caused by s58, IR35 and so on?Comment

If you heard what this included you wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic came to mind.Comment

Contact with MP
Originally posted by DonkeyRhubarb View PostThere was a clause in this year's finance bill about rationalising/simplifying provisions which was discussed the other night while we were waiting for ours to be heard.

I was disappointed that we only got 5 minutesn to debate Nigel Mill's new clause 4 and its a shame there was not a division. What a shame that David Gauke trotted out the old Treasury line once again. We will try to raise the issue again on the floor of the House in Monday and Tuesday's debates at the Report Stage of the Bill.Comment

Originally posted by nevergiveup View PostWhat a top bloke. It's such a pity Labour has put us through all this cr@p in the first place (and IR35). It does go to show some MP's do actually have morals!
Thank you Mr Mills and Mr Hamilton!
You could accuse them of being two faced but I don't believe so.
If HMRC/Treasury are counting on Labour to support S58 they can forget it.Comment
