They make normal people like us sick to the back teeth!
Lord Clyde in 1929: ‘No man is under the smallest obligation, moral or other, so to arrange his legal relations to his business or to his property as to enable the Revenue to put the largest possible shovel into his stores. The Revenue is not slow to take every advantage which is open to it under the taxing statutes for the purpose of depleting the taxpayer’s pocket. And the taxpayer is entitled to be astute to prevent, so far as he honestly can, the depletion of his means by the Revenue.’Comment

Gauke acknowledges ....
Just had a David Gawke reply forwarded to me from MP. To me several acknowledgements were made that no one particularly discussed on here before.... aside from the usual factually incorrect junk about 'the courts decided' the bit that stands out for me is that the letter clearly acknowledges that this IS retrospection. It goes on to justify that HMRC always stated... and that I should have known i was at risk of .... etc etc but then the letter talks about dates that HMRC communicated to scheme users and here the very first date they come up with is February 2008. Its lists other dates later on but thats the crunch..... HMRC communicates in Feb 2008 and that apparently justifies the announcement in March 2008 of retrospection going back decades ! Unbelieveable !!Comment
